Good grief, I can remember that episode! Didn't the aeroplane come in at the same time each day attempting, unsuccessfully, to bomb an ammunition dump close to the field hospital?

Thank you, Mike. Here's a grainy image of an oddity that's neither fish nor fowl!

That's close enough for me, Chris. The book from which I took the picture captions it as the 1923 Berliner Helicoplane, which was Emile Berliner's fifth rotary wing machine. The caption goes on to say, without apparent irony, that it "combined almost every known flight mechanism". But even this did not allow it to put more than a couple of metres between it and terra firma!
