Seen to-day on the roof of Connells scrap yard, Royton, Oldham. Real or replica?   |

It's not listed in Wrecks & Relics (21st Edition)
But, it looks real, maybe a Rotorway Exec which was a home build

I agree with ian531 on his assumption that it is a Rotorway Executive. The tail boom has the same "Y" shaped bracket at the end of the boom for where the tail rotor shaft goes thru' and a hole further along for the stabiliser. As it is a scrap yard it maybe came in to be scrapped but they stuck it on the roof instead. I have tried to find a decent photo to compare it with but all seem to show the port side. Regards Beemer.

I think a trip to Street Farm, Takeley, Essex could be next on the agenda, Brian ;D ;D ;D
Happy Spotting.

Dave, I think you are right. It looks just like the Granada Studio one as this photo shows that I took about ten years ago. Regards Beemer.  |
