If any of the French pilots are from the religion of peace this could go horribly wrong?

What is that weird aircraft center front? Looks like a helicopter with overly wide blades on top and a contrarotating propeller on the front.

If you are referring to the third (and last) photo, that’s the Fairey Gannet anti-sub/AEW aircraft of the Royal Navy. It’s wings are folded, hence the similarity to a helicopter.

Thanks. That’s it. It was the double folded wings that were throwing me- looked like a 4 bladed rotor in that picture.
