Westland Sioux AH1

Scout and liaison helicopter that preceded Gazelle. Powered by a piston engine and had a bubble canopy in front of an exposed framework that looked like Meccano, only more flimsy. Highly publicised by the film and TV series M*A*S*H. Adopted by the British Army just as everyone else was getting rid of theirs.

At the controls of this particularly fine machine is one of the best looking Arrse members to have ever lived. You'll notice how superbly he is flying this wonderful aircraft and how awesome he looks too. 25 women became pregnant approx 10 minutes after this picture was taken.
