One for the Autogiro enthusiasts

I was looking for something completely unrelated, and stumbled upon this. Thought some of you might like it as well.

. Congrats on the first flight! What kind of gyro is it?

They must've had a pretty good wind for that landing approach, interesting that they don't show the rotor spin down, he probably had to turn tail to the wind to prevent blade flap.

Pitcairn.

Early model before the gimbal rotorhead.
