In 1956-60 I lived in Woodley (East of Reading) and about 10miles from Fairy Aviations place at White Waltham. At that time they were developing the Fairy Rotodyne which is the early development of this type of STOL aircraft. It was without doubt the noisiest aeroplane in the world! the Lockeed Constellation and Concord on take-off were "stealth" like by comparison. I think they sold the plane and development data to an American plane maker. Chris.S.
