Little Nellie …

The ultimate flying Q gadget could be the autogyro, nicknamed Little Nellie, in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967) used by Bond to locate Blofeld’s rocket base from the air.
Real life Wing Commander Ken Wallis designed this unusual machine in the early 1960s. Unlike a helicopter, only the autogyro’s rear engine provides power during flight. Once airborne the top rotor spins freely due to the force of the air.
This is Little Nellie today, I think my vintage Breitling is the perfect companion..,
