I took these photographs back in 2018 at Palma del Rio Spain. Can anyone suggest what type of helicopter might they be. I had a escort with me so I didn't investigate too close. You can use the 119 as a size guide. Cobra is the main suspect, but then who's and where from.

Can't make anything fit. Only suggestion I can make is they might be the well stripped down carcasses of a pair of A119s owned by the local operator which were firebombed (along with a local A119) in Chile in early 2018. Cockpits were destroyed. Might have been worth containering them back for spares I guess. Skids don't look like A119 tho...

Eurocopter EC-135, or an earlier variant ?

Could it be the Dodge Charger, General Lee, from the Dukes of Hazzard TV series?

Unfortunately not, the remains of them where close by with a few more casualties of the fire season. Thanks.
