The machine was built and flown by Wing Cmdr Ken Wallis from Norfolk.

He made more than 80 flights for the sequence which lasts just minutes on film.

Wing Cmdr Wallis began experimenting with the machines in 1958 and his prototype, WA-116, had its maiden flight in 1961.

The machines have been used in aerial photography, military reconnaisance and even in the search for the Loch Ness monster.

Wing Cmdr Wallis is also the oldest pilot to set a world record (as recognised by the FAI). On March 19 1998, at age 81 years and 336 days, he had the fastest climb to 3000 metres in an autogyro over Norfolk.
