In reply top Afghan B-24... Probably not but what is it? posted by Scott WRG Editor on Tue Dec 04, 2001 07:50:47 PM

You are looking at the Mi-8 from underneath. Rather than flip the image over, rotate it ninety degrees clockwise. The insignia is on the belly of the chopper, with the left arm of the star actually pointing to the front. The dark object between the insignia and the front is the remains of the front landing gear. The triangular structure on the top becomes the port landing gear.
If you were to recover this wreck, and restore it as a Hampden, would it be a replica or a restoration?
Cheers,
Brett
