Did it see RAF Service?
|
Not just with the RAF, other air forces too.
|
so - something built in numbers - well for the interwar period.
Single engined? |
It's so so Hawker Fury/Demon Blackburn Baffin but I can't place it.
|
None of the above!

Noyade, correct! It was indeed the Westland Wapiti!
You have control. |
|
N american?
|
Not this time.
|
IMHO it has air operated main wheel brakes, retractable landing gear. Not British.
Just trying. |
|
The Phoenix it is.
Back to you, BEagle. :ok: |
|
"MIN ROTOR REVOLUTIONS AT TAKE OFF" makes me suspect a Gyro?
|
Not sure which model it is but you got me reading about its eponymous designer, about whom I knew little. Interesting life and a tragic death.

Possibly Juan de la Cierva? If so, maybe the Cierva C-30? |
Noyade, correct! Cierva C-30A autogyro it is indeed! Also known as the Avro Rota Mk1 in RAF service.
You have control! |
Thanks BEagle - but thnarg should have this as he led me to Cierva.
Cheers! |
