Thanks Beagle, definately well ahead of its time. I wonder if, with the advances in modern control systems etc, something similar would be more successful these days? Of course, with civi tiltrotors already available I guess the civilian VTOL transport niche is filled.

I remember my dad had an airfix kit of the Rotodyne, it always looked like an interesting way to fly.
