Hi all, sad day I've just heard that Wing Commander Wallace has just passed away. He invented the Gyrocopter from the James Bond films and he also flew the Wellington bombers through the war, RIP WALLACE

Michael.

It was called the autogyro and was used most sucessfully during the second world war. RIP Wing/Co Wallace.
