Flying Hard Body Perambulator........Captions Please
Came across this vintage pram on Ebay, Afficionados please tell me this thing isnt an aircraft ?
Sadly it may well be, not that you would catch em anywhere near it running !
If anyone can add any history go ahead, Ive thrown out better looking buckets !
Or lets have a caption competition......................

I'm sure there's one of those out the front of our local supermarket - you put a dollar in and, sometimes, it'll bounce the kids around for about 30 seconds.
I remember reading about the scorpion in Janes aircraft recogintion book. There was also a single seater made. Anyone who remembers the movie 'Annie' may remember a yellow version of the type.

Rotorway Scorpion, Early 1970s, 600 odd kits produced.Dont know how many flew. Designed by BJ Schramm (?Spelling) who went on to design the Rotorway Exec series and finally killed himself in a homebuilt turbine, the Helicycle.
Dont bother bidding unless you are tired of living.

There is no doubt that the auction in question is a bad idea, but give BJ a little more respect as a fellow aviator.

BJ survived his first crash in his Helicycle, to power line no less. His final crash was into a river IIRC.
The Helicycles http://www.helicycle.com/ are alive and well and looks to be very well designed. BJ was a great contributor to the helicopter community.
May he RIP...
