Sorry my memory is slipping. I did witness a Chinook lifting a Lynx in B.C. and distinctly remember the rotors bending up trying to get it out of the snow. Here's the pic I must have taken; a chinook lifting an Iltis jeep and of a queen mary command post M113. I did smash two armoured vehicles together though; got the extra duties to prove it, lol.
