Some splendid angles on an immaculate helicopter!
I am wondering what the handrail along the tail is for?

Edit: Love the Seasprite parked outside Bunnings...

That's for fast Troop extraction .. hang on fellas , you may notice left hand side only, you would find most right handers are very very aggressive, most us left handers are artists not killers .. Tho that's a 2014 story biggrin.gif

Agree 100% Charl , more Hamstastic shots . I may be wrong , but i think you may find the handrail looking thing may be some kind of aerial.

Towel rack! of course... smile.gif
Silly me, it's an NH90 thread, the tail looked like a Seasprite in passing.
Helicopters... a big round thing whirling around on top, a little round thing whirling around at the back... all the same.

Great sound, Ham, these things are much more fun when they have wheels you can drive around on, eh?
