Great shots! Are they taken in Scotland as your location would suggest, or is this around the Aberdyfi estuary in Wales?

Nice pictures of the puma.

Looking at the rotor head shot those scissor link uprights look surprisingly small for the job.

Ned2air,

I'm assuming that the two add-ons beside the forward cabin are the ammo boxes. that's a lot of weight up front. would that drastically change CG once the ammo is depleted?

Nothing to do with Lotus.

You have guessed correct.

Capt. Hollywood,

Do you still have a left nut? You'd better check and see, cause I'd certainly give my left nut to get a job like yours. Beautiful machine from any angle.
