Hmm, according to a quick google, the Weir is 1938 (presumably British designed albeit with ideas taken from Focke and Cierva) and the M-1 is 1954. Perhaps its something even earlier?

I was hedging my bets Toby as all the ones prior to this seem to have had a non British Designer... But you could easily argue that the company was the designer. From what I can find, this was the first helicopter by a British designer (person).
