<p>Allocated British Aircraft Preservation Council (BAPC) No 96.
This simple homebuilt helicopter was originally constructed in the 1950’s by Mr F. Brown of Stanley, Co Durham. It used surplus wartime aircraft components and was powered by a converted McCulloch target drone engine. There is no record of it ever flying. It was later discovered in a barn near Stanley, along with a Luton Minor and Bensen B7. All three were donated to the museum for preservation in 1975.
It remains on display at the North East Land, Sea &amp; Air Museums (NELSAM), Sunderland, Tyne &amp; Wear, UK.
