EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Cierva C.19 Mk IV Autogyro, registered G-ABuf, is seen flying at a low altitude and an unusual attitude, showcasing its distinctive rotor blades and open cockpit design. Built by Avro in the 1930s, this autogyro was a significant development in the history of rotorcraft, bridging the gap between fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. The Cierva C.19 Mk IV was a British experimental autogyro that featured a unique design, with a pusher propeller located at the rear of the fuselage. Powered by a 130 horsepower de Havilland Gipsy III engine, it could reach a top speed of 85 miles per hour and had a maximum range of around 300 miles. This photograph, taken at an airfield in the United Kingdom, likely during a test flight or demonstration, provides a rare glimpse into the past of aviation history. The autogyro's low-level and unusual attitude flight maneuver adds an element of excitement and intrigue, highlighting the skill and bravery of the pilot. The 1930s were a pivotal time in aviation, with advancements in technology leading to the development of new and innovative aircraft designs. The Cierva C.19 Mk IV Autogyro was one such design, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of rotorcraft. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and passion that drove aviation pioneers to explore new frontiers and push the limits of what was thought possible.
