Synopsis: The helicopter is viewed from the side with only one of its main wheels showing at the lower centre of the page, and with a tail wheel to its right. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The cockpit at the front is on the left of the page and the tail on the right. The long rotor blades stretch from the left of the page to the right, above the helicopter body. On the left of the body there are three cockpit windows, up from these is the engine grill. Up from the main wheel one of the helicopter's floats is shown and two more windows. To the right of these is the open hatch through which people are winched during rescue missions. Right from the hatch is another window. Above the hatch and single window is the radar dome on the top edge of the helicopter. At the far right of the page is the six bladed tail rotor.
