Canadair Sea-King 154? The boy band FIVE doesn’t fit. The radios used in the Sea King was a model 155.

I think Red Adair may serve as more than one clue.

Like, I’m Canadian, and I should find the answer to this one easily? Red Adair fought oil well fires in Canada, but he was renowned world wide. Plus, he was a Texan, not a Canadian.

I’m no expert, but I believe images 5 & 6 might be in the wrong order. If that helps.

Argh, my dyslexia strikes again
You are correct, you win a Yaaaaar!
I've fixed it, and added another clue.

Also, say the sounds as you read them.

@Canuck, you're on the ball, just need to sort the last few clues.

OK, open to all now.

@Charlemagne1333 probably has the answer.

Think aeroplanes.
You were on the right track on your first guess, just the wrong aircraft.
A clue. Red Adair fought fires, this also fought fires, probably still does.

I might as well do the honours, if there are no other takers.

Reading down:

Can
Adair
Sea
El
Dash
Two
Won
Five

It’s the super scooper Canadair CL-215

I had a feeling you'd got it some time ago. Well done for putting @Canuck out of his misery.
👏
It baffles me how he can come up with the most arcane, hard to solve (for me) Rebusses (Rebi?), but is stymied by my simple efforts.
🤔

Rebusses (Rebi?)

Not a clue.
I’d argue rebi, as in cacti, fungi, hippopotami and other nouns ending in ‘us’.
I was away from school that day.

Whew! Now I can forget this one. Funny, but DeHavilland is building a factory in Wheatland County, 30 minutes east of Calgary, to build similar fire fighting planes.

AL GORE = AL
ICE CREAM = LICK (LEX)
FISH = ZANDER
CHEESE GRATER = THE GREAT

Thereby, Alexander the Great?
