Ken Wallis also worked as Sean Connery's stunt pilot in the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice, where he flew one of his WA-116s named Little Nellie. He packed one heck of a lot into his 97 years!
Kenneth Horatio Wallis (26 de abril de 1916 - 1 de septiembre de 2013)[ fue uno de los principales exponentes de autogiros. Él llevó a cabo (en algunos casos aún mantiene) 34 registros relacionados con ellos. Nacido el 26 de abril de 1916 en Ely, Cambridgeshire, Wallis desarrolló un interés práctico en la mecánica, con la construcción de una motocicleta a la edad de 11. En 1936, se inspiró en una demostración por Henri Mignet de su Mignet HM.14 Pou-du-Ciel ("Flying Flea"). Usando sólo el libro de Mignet, Wallis reunió los materiales necesarios, y comenzó a construir su propio Flying Flea. Abandonó la construcción debido a la publicidad adversa difundida acerca de los accidentes fatales que un diseño inadecuado implica.
Is it possible to get his building plans? This very basic type of gyrocopter will find very valuable usage in crop spraying, personal transport, police and military patrol and surveillance. There are new engines that are fuel injected with turbo and electric starter that could be fitted but the basic frame is an invaluable design. Is there anybody in this site who could help me get hold of his building plans?
