No, not the gyro in front of it, the plane behind the gyro with the
twin boon. Three brownie point to the first enthusiast able to ID
this plane.

Thanks,
Wil

It appears to be based on a Benson Gyrocopter.

I have no idea what this particular exterior may have been called.

Thanks for the effort Pete, but I'm interested in the plane behind the
gyro.

As far as the Gyro goes, someone was kind enough to label the photo
Montegomerie Benson B8MR, and just in case there was any confusion, they
painted Montegomerie Benson in four or five inch tall letters on the
fuselage. The registration number listed on the picture title and
aircraft itself lead to registration records that state Montegomerie
Benson B8MR as the make and there is an accident report on it that in
addition to the model, states that it is powered by a Rotax, so there
should be no mystery surrounding the Gyro ;')

At the bottom it states that it is a Sparrowhawk and as one of three it
is to be rebuilt to flying condition and the other two were sent back to
the US. A Sparrowhawk search turns up the Curtis fighter or the Gyro by
Groen Bros. Also a search for Swanton Morely airfield shows it was
closed in 1999.
