Chinook filling in the dam breach
FAREASTDRIVER. I was involved in that. Eight hours a day in the seat. We found those skips flew very badly and slowly when empty. Then someone discovered that if you bit the bullet and flew a bit faster, the airflow would open the door in the bottom and they would then be stable up to around 90kts.
I commented in the thread on France buying Chinook's that most European countries had a reduced level of helicopter heavy lift requirement cp the UK and USA due to the ease (relatively) of cross country movement by trucks etc
France eyes up Boeing CH-47 purchase
A number of people pointed out various scenarios illustrating why they really really really should have made the investment............. mainly unconvincing TBH...
But no-one said that dam building was a potential need
You'd have though the Wehrmacht above all would have noticed a gap in capability......

I see they have resurrected the chinook advert for school clothing, nice bit of taking advantage of the aircraft while it's prominent in the news
