This Image Depicts A Cierva C.30A Autogiro Used By The Royal Air Force, As Highlighted In A 1962 "Service News" Clipping. The Cierva C.30A, Developed In The 1930s, Was An Early Rotorcraft Featuring An Unpowered Rotor For Lift And An Engine-Driven Propeller For Thrust. Its Short Takeoff And Landing Capabilities Made It Innovative For Its Time, Serving In Limited Roles Such As Reconnaissance And Artillery Spotting. By 1962, Autogiros Were Largely Obsolete, Superseded By Helicopters. The Caption Notes The Rebuilding Of One Aircraft, Reflecting Efforts To Preserve This Historic Design. The Image Captures Engineers And Technicians Engaged With The Aircraft, Likely During Restoration Or Maintenance, Underlining Its Significance In Aviation History.
