WG13,
Sir, I salute you on your post. You have made a wet soggy day so much better. EGBB 170920Z 29007KT 1800 -SHRA BKN002 06/05 Q1026 WG13 LAFF OWT LOWD However, no doubt we will now be told the shed in question had a sloping roof! SS. |
WG 13
Nearly, However the T/R was elevated rather than drooping down,:D PeterRB |
Is this it ...?
This thread has been cracking me up - the creativity of ppruners never fails to amaze me !!
Have you seen the recent thread re: Newcastle / Gateshead (Helicopter activity NE UK ) ? There are a couple of German Mil. Helis taking off from the pad next to the river which sound similar to what has been described over the previous 5 pages. I must confess I don't know what they are (don't get out of the Ops office much and my window looks at a carpark !) ... but a possibility nonetheless. Ps - LOVED the flying shed !! This is what the forums should be like - not slanging matches !!! |
FlightOops,
If I'm not mistaken, those are German Mil versions of the Bolkow 105 which was mentioned, and discredited, way back here. My money's on wg13_dummy being right. Regards, B73 |
I can't find a picture of it all together, but I am now getting visions of Lionel Jeffries singing P.O.S.H out of the open door of his potting shed in 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'.
I believe the airship had two 3 bladed props at either end of it, so if viewed from the side, it could possibly appear to be a helicopter. (prior to Vfrpilots visit to 'Specsavers'). http://unsinkablecork.com/chitty/images/courtyard.jpg http://unsinkablecork.com/chitty/images/grandpa_hut.jpg Perhaps another remake of a popular family film in progress? |
Has anyone considered a Russian built heli that has slab sides but contra rotating rotor with H tail. can't remember type but looks like a shed. :)
Can't be a true Shed cos that a plank (Fixed wing) :) |

Peter,
Could it have been a Silvercraft SH4? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...rcraftSH-4.jpg Seems to match most of your criteria and there are a few flying in Europe. J |
Jelly ,
Ya -Hoo, paint it dark green or blue and thats the one I am nearly certain. Is it "Old" or just rare? Thank you Jelly I had nearly given up! PeterRB |
How about the good old one bladed helicopter:ok:
http://www.internetage.com/rotorcraf...bo-103_03b.jpg Oh yes, and saw this driving through Mojave last week:confused: :confused: :confused: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...an3/Mojave.jpg Any idea what movie we will be seing this in? |
Hang on a mo... Dark green or blue?
We're not talking ex AAC Scout / Navy Wasp are we? The shape is certainly very similar to the Silvercraft. http://www.freefoto.com/preview.jsp?...uchars+Airshow Aah! just noticed T&B already suggested it, but there is at least one Scout on the civvie register. |
Hey Encyclo,
That Mojave ship is from the movie "The 6th Day" (Schwarzenegger, 2000). Image here (I hope) |
ShyTorque,

No \'Silvercraft SH4\', \'Silvercraft\' or \'SH4\' registered in UK. All registered SH-4 s can be found here . SS |
SSS,
Was a piston powered craft, not a turb, but I agree the profile is very similar, the Silvercraft looks quite a strong little craft especially with its six potter, doubt again in my mind for I was certain the sound denoted a 4 pot engine, unless this six cylinder job has a strange pipe system! PeterRB Vfr |
I guess this will remain a mystery, especially as vfrpilot is now convinced it was a Silvercraft. (which only has 2 blades and a low mounted tail rotor, contrary to the recognition features given!) :suspect:

Sherlock,
I am impressed beyond belief, do you work for some secret gove depot or something like that, Now then the thlot plickens, today I have seen the very helicopter that flew over my office, today the sun was shinning el mucho so this thing stood out well, it is blue with a silver streak it is slab sided and has a short boom with a cranked and elevated Tail rotor, but this is where I fear I may have been wrong it sounded today more like a turbine, but with a very noisey tail rotor system, it also appeared to have a very wide cab possibly capable of three abreast seating, it flew West to East, and later in reverse track, I feel that I have seen this at the Helitech last Sept and I think it was giving rides to prospective cutomers, so It may not be the "Old Machine" I think it is. It is on Skids as well Is there a big Schweiser like I am describing!!?? PeterRB:O :O ;) |

It may be of no relevance Peter, but while we were at the Burnley game on Sunday watching various East Lancastrians beat seven bells out of each other in pub beer gardens there was a helicopter diddling around Pendle, Whalley area at low level. If they Prune and recognise themselves could it they have been one and the same?
