Thanks Hugh, I always like to see pictures of the 214. Not the most popular type but it has a certain charm.

Apparently the original 214 A through C were rushed in development and essentially had a scaled-up 205 dynamic system, which caused issues. For the ST like that shown they did a fair amount of redesign but it never really became popular; Bell had to be jolted out of the teetering rotor mindset.

Except for the Thai forces, who bought half a dozen. But I don’t think there are many types of aircraft they haven’t bought ( glad I’m not running their logistics )
