The photograph depicts the Weymann CTW 200 Autogiro somewhere in France, probably in 1931, with unidentified officers partly obscuring the aircraft. Again, the occasion is unknown, but the design was intended to meet a requirement issued by the French Navy in May 1930. Originally designated the WEL.200 (for Weymann-Lepere), the CTW 200 was an open-cockpit side-by-side two-seater powered by a 95 h.p. Renault 4Pb, and resembled the British Cierva C.19 Mk III. It had dual controls, a four-bladed rotor of 11m (36ft lin) diameter and Bendix brakes. The wings spanned 6-5m (21ft 4in). It first flew, with Juan de la Cierva at the controls, during Easter week 1931.
