Looks like a Rollator for elderly aviators and aviation enthusiasts, with fan.

Ikenga 530Z Autogiro

The name Ikenga has its origin in the Igbo culture of eastern Nigeria and has an important connection to the spiritual and psychical dimension of the culture and the individual; it is timeless and is perceived as a psychic force that underscores success. There is the interpretation that Ikenga is the destiny, which an unborn soul works out for itself with the help of its Chi before it incarnates in the physical realm. In this case the creation and consecration of Ikenga would be the process of activating this destiny and living it out.
Displayed in the Smithsonian.

If the tail looks a little 'Mustangy', it should, it's from a Bushby Midget Mustang.
