They were originally made by BHC, the British Hovercraft Corporation, so
I presume they were originally for hovercraft. I don't know how they
ended up in Boeing helicopters, which is what the photo shows, but two
500 gallon internal tanks work better than two 1000 gallon external
tanks when the helicopter is used for logging. I built 5 from scratch
using BHC drawings, and I converted several original BHC tanks from
bladder to wet cell. (In between other projects, of course).

Four out of the five were in aircraft which have crashed and burned.
So it goes.

Those should give me pretty good range!

What are those tanks for?
