Looking aft, one can see the "Top Hat" intake screens, to good advantage. Although they aren't form-fitting to the intake
structure, they are right/left 'handed'. Also visible is the gap between the closed clamshell doors, that cover the
transmission. The three latches securing the doors, are also visible. Note the 'fin intakes' are open - no screen cover.
This particular helicopter is a former-Voyager airframe, as evidenced by the rod-like braces for the aux. fuel tanks.

Profile view of the port "Top Hat" intake screen. One can clearly see where the screen's got their popular name.

Starboard View:
Side detail of the "Crash Location Transmitter" and it's mountng plate. Upon impact, this "CLT" will pop free of the
airframe and begin transmitting a distress signal, that is picked up by a satellite in the SARSAT network and beamed to
the nearest Rescue Co-ordination Centre. Accidental "CLT" activation in civil aircraft, is a frequent cause of SAR
call-outs. One can also see the small exhaust on the forward rotor housing, as well as the external wing, in it's
'stowed' position. Again, note the rod-type braces for the aux. tanks.

Starboard view of the 'front office'. Note the dashed lines signifying to 'cut along the dotted line' in case of an
emergency. This is NOT a door, as I've seen on a completed kit. Note the International Orange seat covers, over the
crew seats.

Nose gear detail. The frame to mount the 'nightsun' is permanently mounted, but the light itself is only fitted when
the search requires it. Note the double, retractable landing lights. These are always deployed on the ground. Also
note just some of the underside 'whip' antenna. The two in the background are the first pair of six (three pairs) that
are used to triangulate the "CLT" signal from a downed aircraft.

Another look on the bottom from the starboard side. Note the two blade antenna, as well as two more whip antenna.
These represent the right-most antenna in the remaining two pair of the six, described in the previous view. Also seen,
is the towel-rack 'loran' antenna. These are only fitted to the former-Voyager airframes. A carry-over from it's Army
days. The item hanging down, in the distance, is the sectioned flat plate that covers the ramp hinge, when the ramp
is closed.

View of the closed starboard crew door. It also has the dashed outline, signifying emergency access. Note how the external
winch is attached to the airframe, with it's associated cabling. Also of note is the view of the underside antenna. The
left-most 'pair' is the first of the three-pair of the 'search antenna' mentioned above. The right-most antenna, is the
stiffer, single antenna, seen behind the nose gear, in a previous view.

Port view of the front rotor housing. Note the opened 'intakes' at the front of the housing. The visible panel lies on
the housing are where the closed clamshell panels meet.

Port view of the 'front ofice'. As a modeler, don't you just love all that black stenciling, on the current SAR scheme?

Close-up of the front of the side-mounted HF anrtenna, Note the detail of the antenna supports. This particular shot,
is in a former-Voyager airframe. The 'true Labrador' airframes, have the HF antenna mounted higher on the port side,
above the fuselage lightning flash. Again for the modeler, note how the red of the Rescue band, covers the base of the
each HF antenna support, flanking the band.

Winch profile. Note the UHF blade antenna in the background. This is identical in shape to the black UHF blade antenna,
seen in underside views.
