Re: Pitcairn PA-39 autogyros - Fleet Air Arm

According to the Air-Britain British Air Commission book, these autogyros were ordered for the RAF, not the FAA. There were seven in total, BW828 to 834.

It states that 829 and 830 were sold back to the manufacturers and 828,831 and 832 were the three lost in transit (ship not named). That left 833 and 834 for the RAF.
