AirLeg 65

“The first British vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) machine, and the only one built by Rolls Royce, flew (kind of!) for the first time on August 3, 1954. It was an open rectangular frame with near vertical legs at each corner. It had two Rolls Royce Nene engines with exhaust ducted downwards 90 degrees thrusting through the center of mass. A pilot sat on a platform atop the machine, and he had projecting nozzle support trusses fore and aft for pitch control. Guess what this creature's nickname was? The Flying Bedstead! Sure wish I had a picture of it to show you!”
