The aircraft seen here is a Cierva C8L Mk II autogiro, Reg. No. G-EBYY.
It should be noted that the Registration Number, shown down the side of the craft, is the wrong way round, which tells me that the film is back-to-front.
The craft is being piloted by its inventor, Juan de la Cierva.
Thanks very much indeed. Some valuable information. We've updated the description of our clip.
