Damn 'n' blast [or words to that effect], Mike. I didn't realise it
wouldn't
be available outside of Pomgolia.

In lieu, here's a couple of screen grabs & the test from the Anglia TV
website.


Magnificent flying Ken!
2.34PM Wed Jun 9 2010
Everyone's heard of those magnificent men and their flying machines
and few
are more magnificent than one Wing Commander from Norfolk. Why? Well
at the
grand old age of 94, Ken Wallis is planning to set a new world speed
record
in an autogyro he built himself!

He looks familiar, did he fly the autogyro in one of the James Bond
movies? Also crashed flying an autogyro at an airshow?

That's the man. He's now hoping to beat his own speed record [below], aiming
for 140mph

From Wiki:

Wing Commander Ken Wallis has held most of the autogyro world records during
his autogyro flying career. These include the speed record of 186 km/h
(111.7 mph), and the straight-line distance record of 869.23 km (543.27
miles). On 16 November 2002, Wallis increased the speed record to 207.7 km/h
(129.1 mph)- and simultaneously set another world record as the oldest pilot
to set a world record.
