Title
Flying circus aircraft of Sir Alan Cobham's Flying Circus
Description
A gyrocopter is captured in mid-air.

A gyrocopter looks like a small helicopter but the main difference is there is no engine turning the rotors. The rotors simply self-propel due to the way that the air flows through them.
