I think Stokes in on the right track. I believe it is a Sikorsky CH-53

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CH-53_Sea_Stallion#Germany

Looking at the markings its German air force/army.

Best wishes, Mark

Certainly not a Merlin, mainly as its got German markings on it (bit like giving spitfires to the Luftwaffe!).

This is a Sikorsky Stallion CH53.

defo a CH53 from the German Army, where do you live?

 

[Buttkicker]

Dont know how this thread is still going when at least 3 people have correctly said its a German Army CH53

I was more interested in finding out where this was seen to be honest.

 

[FlyTVR]
