Fairey 'Ultra Light' powered by (I believe) a Turbomeca Palouste engine driven by compressed air exhausting through the rotor tips thus not requiring any form of torque control such as a tail rotor.
Simple but never developed further with only 6 built and the Army ordering the Skeeter instead.
Faireys did try to develop a civil variant but government funding was chopped.
