What an absolute inspiration Mr Wallis is!

Fantastic photos - many thanks for sharing!

BTW, Has anyone here read his biography?
Taken from his site (http://www.kenwallisautogyro.com/):
Designer and builder of motorcycles, speed boats, sports cars and autogyros. Engineer, inventor, marksman, armaments expert, model maker, photographer, WWII RAF bomber pilot, RB-36 pilot with Strategic Air Command, James Bond film “double” in “You Only Live Twice” flying “Little Nellie” .…and much more! Ken has set a total of 34 World Records in two classes of autogyros since 1968 and is President of the Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum; Ian Hancock is the Chairman.
I see he's kept himself busy over the years.
