These helicopters are standing for some while now in a harbour somewhere in Belgium.
Sold to a company from Russia, but because the bill is not payed yet, they still waiting to be shipped.

Because these helicopters are that huge, they are not allowed to fly through the european sky,
and they were transported by truck to this place.

  • @planelovingbastard I think its more likely that they removed the rotor head when they removed the main rotor gearbox. They would have wrecked the airframe before they would have "ripped" the rotor head off.

  • amazing

    

  • location PLZ! :)

  • I'd love to get my hands on some spare gauges to use on my motorcycle projects. Any of the buttons, controls lights switches, but especially the gauges and clock faces would be awesome to use. I'm putting together an '82 CB750F, with wire wheels and fat modern radial tires, in a send-up to the original "sandcast "'69 CB750K, but I've got other bike projects on the go. And militaria is a cool theme for stuff like this, they're just such cool bits and pieces. Where would I find this stuff?

  • Hey I'll give you £100 GBP for one of the white ones shipped to rosyth, scotland :P and I'll actually pay the bill.

  • maybe something on the helicopter can use on airshow plane

  • they ripped the rotor-head clean off of that one, HOLY SHIT! I fix model helicopters for a living, and even in the worst crashes, the heads stay on. Blades will come and go, they are replaced after a number of hours, but shit, rotor heads usually connect from the upper bearings to at the top, and the engine, through the whole damn helicopter to a bottom set. They have to to take the forces of flight. Jesus what force it must have took to remove them.
