It looks like the Love-Child of a Westland Scout and a Wheelie bin. The kind of child only a mother could love!!

akshully it was a Cierva design, Cierva were bought by Saunders-Roe, and the design became the SARO Skeeter in production.

Later the P-531 design was adapted by Westlands (who had taken over Saro's) to become the Wasp/Scout, so you could say it was the Scouts' mum!
