This single rotor jet helicopter, bearing the MI6 cover, universal

Use
The Universal Exports chopper picked up 007 from the cemetery
whilst he was paying tribute to his deceased wife Tracy. Once
in the chopper the pilot was electrocuted by remote and a taunting
voice came over the loudspeaker in the cabin, it was a bald, wheelchair-bound
villain, whom Bond recognised as Blofeld. The helicopter controls
were taken over by Blofeld via a remote control panel on the wheelchair,
as he trashed the helicopter around the sky, Bond tried overtaking
but the controls were locked. After tearing out a few wires, Bond
regained control and skilfully picked up Blofeld and the wheelchair
on one of the choppers landing skids and dumped Blofeld down a
gasworks chimney.
Specs
A Bell Jet Ranger helicopter registration number G-BAKS. This
ordinary helicopter was painted red and white with the words "universal
exports" written on the side. The chopper was rigged up presumably
by on of Blofeld's assailants, with a remote control device which
could take over the choppers electronics and use small electric
motors to move the control stick and pedals.
