But I doubt that's the RAF autogyro. I would say that's a French one.

Also. the RAF didn't use the marking of the anchor on the rudders. That's the naval French AF. Also the name of the manufacturer on the rudder is L.O what indicate the Lioré et Olivier. It is the LeO C.301 that can be also recoginzed by the shape of the fin and rudder. The RAF autogyros were of the Cierva C.30 and C.30A licenced variants produced by the Avro factory. All of them had the long dorsal fin. Additionally tha tripod for rotating of wings is characteristic for the LeO C.301 because the C.30 had four ones.

The enlarged pic reveals the quite high and wavy demarcation line between the camo colours of the fuselage sides. The profile below shows that as well. What is more the French roundel on the fuselage side was cut out as the trophy. The enlarged shot edited with the Gama-correction reveals the fuselage inner structure noticed through the hole in the fabric skin.
