Negative from FNG archive. Wing Commander Ken Wallis was born in 1913. After retirement from RAF service in the early 1960's he started building autogyros. In 1967 he acted as stunt pilot for Sean Connery flying Little Nellie in you "You only live Twice" and is seen posing here, every inch looking the British gentleman, on a promotion tour. He passed away in 2013. Little Nellie was cancelled in 2016 as permanently withdrawn from use but survives as exhibit at the Shuttleworth collection.

Built at Rearsby in August 1944 as NJ689 for the RAF for AOP duties. Civilianised in 1950 and later given a 150 h.p. Lycoming O-320 and enlarged tail surfaces for glider towing duties. Here at Rearsby again in 1967 for overhaul with the Beagle/Auster offices visible above the aircraft. Its correct designation is Auster 5-150. It is not an Alpha as it retains the AOP cabin glazing.
