So, there is the QH-50DM (used in Vietnam) and the QH-50E (YQH-50E), but still cannot find the right picture.

But yours is a -50D without question (if the big net hasn't cocked up):

Edit: somewhere else it is listed as Nite Gazelle

Nite Gazelle
It is the Gyrodyne Nite Panther, a development of the 50.

Three were built and all were lost within days of arriving off Vietnam.

Good enough for me - All yours. v

The only reason fighter pilots exist is to make sure that you are never alone when one of them is with you..................

This is why you will never find a fighter pilot down in Hell.
