Nice! I was astonished to see a genuine Bell 47 fly overhead when I was out for a run this morning! Slow, clattery, looking like a light bulb attached to Meccano, but very cool.

Going back a few years, I remember a 'Bell 47 Sioux' sitting in the garden of a house in Goathland, together with I think it was a 'Scorpion' tank or similar. Not seen it recently, I wonder if it could of been this one albeit restore to airworthy condition with a new owner.

Strap stretchers either side and you could make a M.A.S.H.of it.
