That looks like one of those helicopters that carries a basket of water to put out fires

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.
