The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi Ferry,
the Spitfire of Spitfire Helicopter Co.Ltd. Derived from the Enstrom F-28.
I think this is the Spitfire Mk II (sometimes also known as the Tigershark)
 
Thanks Ferry, I donated the points to Volendam:icon_lol:

Sorry for the less than desirable picture of this elegant trimotor.
 
Hmmm, from an era when they were all pusher bipes !

Looks a bit Savoia-Marchetti-ish but suspect it's a one-off Yank. New England type piers in the background.

Hi DHC2Pilot,
if you forgive my insufficient of the Hungarian language, I call this the Dahu II of
MSrE (Muegyetemi Sportrepulo Egyesulet). :mixedsmi:
 
Hi Keith,
sorry, it is not French.
Year of completion was 1953 and the aircraft survives in a museum in its country of birth.
 
if it helps, the heli was painted yellow
It is reported as the first indigenous heli design of the country.
Engine was 150hp Hitachi Jinphu III radial
