I was going to go for the Falklands Chinook as well but what about the famous 'Humphrey' the Falklands Wessex Mk3 from HMS Antrim which not only rescued the 17 SAS from Fortuna Glacier after two far more modern sea kings went down in the blizzards but was also responsible for crippling the Argentine submarine Santa Fe with depth charges forcing her to limp back to Grytvigen where a swarm of Wasp, Sea Lynx (and eventually Humphrey hurrying back with more ammo!) shot the sh(you know what I mean) out of her!  Robin First wooden ship: The Grimsby 12 Gun 'Frigate' by Constructo Second: Bounty DelPrado Part Works Third: HMS Victory DelPrado Part Works 1/100 scale Diorama of the Battle of the Brandywine from the American Revolutionary War Diorama of the Battle of New Falkland (unfinished sci-fi), Great War Centenary Diorama of the Messines Ridge Assault Index for the Victory diary is on page 1

Very unlikely that we'll see an R/C heli partwork in the UK.
A static Sea King could hit the mark, especially as the Sea King is coming to its end, and will be replaced by a number of copters.
This SeA King prog was on TV a few days ago.. "The Sea King: Britain's Flying Past."

A nice one like the Zero would go down very well (no pun intended)

Airwolf is too over done in rc, avaliable in almost any scale, blue thunder is more hard to come by, .....and looks better in my opinion! ! :-)
