Infact after a quick research on the web it looks like its a K-Max unmanned helicopter operated by the USMC,based on the Kamen helicopter.

Always nice to see some images from you as normally provides something unusual. Not seen any of the helo in the last shot before, so thanks for that. UR-82014 has been in and out of Brize a couple of times over the last week or so.

There has been at least 3 a day AN-124's everyday for the last week or so. Saw this earlier in the week but the weather was pants. The unmanned Helicopter was being demonstrated Yesterday. That's the last from here for a month or so as i fly back this week for a well earned rest.

I had to look several times at the rotor config’ on that photo, couldn’t understand what I was looking at and haven’t noticed it on any rotary wing before. This shows it nicely though. ~
