Heeeeeeelp

The first one is by either Atlas or Denel in South Africa, it was based on an Alouette III and was a proof of concept aircraft for the Rooivalk. The name escapes me at the moment but it is a real flyer.

The second one just looks daft!

Rooivalk proto-type, indeed.

Hi

Both were apparently constructed by Melve with parts left from the kit he bought to construct the Stirling and he turned into the Rewind – apparently he became disorientated whilst consuming one too many coffees at the airport Cafe and these are the result.

Thank you all very much. Mystery solved 🙂

Atlas XH-1 Alpha

Thanks for the ID Papa Lima, very much appreciated.

Thanks to Manonthe fence I now have a lead, can anyone come up with a name/designation while I google?

Thanks all. I knew I liked this forum for a reason 🙂

The second one is the McDonnell XHJD-1 44318 from 1946, later redesignated XHJH-1

The first one looks like a movie lash-up attempting to simulate a Hind, but based on something more easily available in the West.

But looking at it again, perhaps not. I know little of eggbeaters so I’ll step back and let the knowledgable through.

The first one sort of looks like an Augusta A.129, could be a development model for this type.
