    The first aircraft displayed in this clip (and the one flying in the formation at the very end) is not a helicopter but an autogiro, specifically a Cierva C.30 direct control model. Note that autogiro is a spelling for this type of rotary wing aircraft used by the Cierva company, the general term is autogyro.
