The Fairey Jet Gyrodyne and Biggles[]
In the Action Comics story The Saboteur, a Fairey Jet Gyrodyne, described as a search and rescue helicopter, picked Biggles up after he ejected from a sabotaged F-86 Sabre. As there were only 1 prototype built, its presence in Canada is a matter for conjecture, as is the use of a strictly experimental platform for search and rescue. Probably Albert de Vine, the artist, was having a bit of fun, or wanted (in the best traditions of the early Johns works) to introduce many new aircraft types to his readers.
