In 1986, the governments of Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK signed a memorandum of understanding to investigate an improved version of the A129, alternatively called the Joint European Helicopter Tonal or Light Attack Helicopter (LAH) with new powerplants, as well as a new rotor system, retractable landing gear, improved sensors and more powerful armament. However, the LAH project collapsed in 1990 following the UK and the Netherlands independently deciding to withdraw from the program and eventually procuring the AH-64 Apache instead. This mock-up (?) is on display at Volandia. This photo is copyright © Alastair T. Gardiner, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
