Don't know the correct word. Meant to say that in the picture, the rotor blade on the left is shorter than in the real life, because it "falls out of the picture".

Understood.

Non-Fenestron, no tail fins, twin bladed, looks turbine powered.

I think it is older than it looks.

Rear doors? (thinking ambulance)

Thanks Reg - a good start to the day.

The one I was going to post I can find little information on, so clues would be virtually none.

So, if you will give me 15-20 minutes I'll throw up a different one.
