Its a Ka-32A11BC Rotorcraft.
Good holiday Treff? I lived in Cyprus for two seasons. Loved it there.

Yes it is the Rotorcraft used for fire bombing with water it had picked up from the sea. The main blades are off-set and I think contra rotating. Design to pick up
heavy weights i believe but with a smaller airframe. Yes we love Cyprus, wonderful place. Our friends own a villa in the Argaka region, where we stay. So lots
of good food, wine and walking and swimming although the sea was quite cold.
