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 shot edited with the Gama-correction reveals the fuselage inner structure noticed through the hole in the fabric skin.
