EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Beagle-Wallis WA-116 XR944, a groundbreaking autogyro that graced the skies above Biggin Hill in 1962. Designed by ex-RAF bomber pilot Wing Commander Ken Wallis, this British Army aircraft was primarily engineered for military reconnaissance and surveillance missions. The sleek and innovative design of the WA-116 set it apart from traditional fixed-wing aircraft, offering enhanced agility and maneuverability. Wing Commander Wallis, a seasoned aviator with a wealth of experience in military aviation, drew upon his expertise to create this remarkable machine. The WA-116's autogyro rotor system provided superior stability and control, enabling it to hover in place and take off and land vertically. These capabilities made it an invaluable asset for clandestine operations and reconnaissance missions. The WA-116's most notable claim to fame came in 1967 when it starred in the James Bond film "You Only Live Twice." Wing Commander Wallis himself piloted the autogyro in several scenes, further solidifying its place in cinematic history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era in aviation history. The Beagle-Wallis WA-116 XR944 stands as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of its creator, Wing Commander Ken Wallis, and the pivotal role it played in military aviation.
