This US Marine Corps Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion is lifting a US M198 155mm howitzer, which is similar to the FH70. When the Air Staff embarked on procuring the Chinook in 1978, the Army was asked what guns would need to be moved. The reply was that the FH70 155mm gun was the weapon, and the Chinook moved it as required, but in trials the CH-53D Sea Stallion failed to reach the required distance. (Blue Envoy Collection)

‘Yes Minister, the Chinook is the smallest of the three, so much easier to hide on the front line.’ After many attempts, the RAF finally acquired its Chinooks. A diagram comparing the sizes of the Chinook, Sea King and EH101 was shown to the minister, who agreed with the Air Staff on the Chinook. (Author)
