Great pics. This must be a Dutch one, it is missing the mast mounted radar.

it cost me about £500 then i have taken 1000s of photos and many videos. I have been very happy with it although i still dont know how to operate 50 percent of its features.

Joe, this could be a US AH64, as it was originally unable to have both a full weapons complement and the Longbow radar system? This has been altered I believe in recent iterations. The British WAH.MK1 has the Longbow as standard.

Please correct me by all means if I am wrong.

It has Royal Netherlands Air Force written on the forward cockpit and on the boom in that colourful version. But you are also correct as the AH64A and versions of the D had the mast mounted radar removed in US service.
