I am sure that the only Fairey Rotodyne ever made was parked on the edge of the airfield for a long time. It looked so revolutionary in those days that it seemed a great shame that it did not 'take off' as it were. I have read that it was just too noisy.
I can recall just how noisy the Rotodyne was when compressed air was being fed into the main rotor blades during vertical take-off and landing, when I saw it being demonstrated at the Farnborough Airshow in the late 1950s. It was almost painful externally, and I can only imagine what it was like when a passenger.
The load of nurses in uniform being discharged at the end of this video could have told you! (A bit reminiscent of an episode of the Benny Hill show, as they all trot out!)
