Ken Wallis was an inventor and aviation pioneer. Among his many achievements he developed the autogyro and it became his passion. He built at least 18 and kept them in a hangar in the grounds of his Norfolk home. He flew 'Little Nellie' as the stand-in for Sean Connery who was James Bond in the film 'You Only Live Twice'. In my youth I marvelled at his skill when, at air displays, he would throw the autogyro around the sky. In middle-age I watched him again, now 84, do the same thing. He was an inspiration and one of those people who helped put the 'great' into Great Britain.
