What On Earth Is This Heli?

Postby littleport2003 » Wed Mar 22, 2006 12:58 pm

Hi,

My freind spotted this heli flying over his uni in Surrey (UK) earlier today, he had no idea what it was, and neither do I. Has anyone here got any idea what it was?

It was painted mainly blue/black, and that bit below the rotors was yellow. I don't belivee it was a squirell due to the pointy nose and wierd tail.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

A little too small I think...

A homebuilt of some type I think, although it bears more than a passing resemblance to a modified Enstrom...

Close, but a little off - it's small but not a homebuilt...

yeh, it does look like a weird wasp, I'm slightly worried about Ozzy though, it looks nothing like an EC135, they even have a 'fan-in-fin' system !?
