one of my online chums has managed to identify it for me
it's a German Army CH53 serial 84+42 sikorsky

or a 'Paraffin Budgie' as he nicknames them

Just as well it doesn't have a red star on it. Then we'd really be in trouble

I was told that they sent that over to see had we repaired the damage they caused 67 years ago.

The answer they took back was, "No, the chippy,s still down!":snf (41):
