Hi, I have read that there were HD7s in lend lease and HD11 in the pacific theatre. Were all of them cable operated blades or were any of them ever loaders?

Interesting article, Steve.  HD11 wasn't produced until 1955.

OK thanks for the info. My mistake on HD14 instead of HD11.
I like the way they looked in the olive drab paint. My HD5 is too new, but it is needing a repaint and I am thinking of painting it this way instead of orange or yellow. Just think it would look cool and stand out.
