Wombat Gyrocopters was a British aircraft manufacturer based in St Columb, Cornwall and founded in 1991 by Chris Julian.
The company specialized in the design and manufacture of autogyros in the form kits for amateur construction.
In May 1997, when Julian was 60 years old, he was killed in the crash of a different model gyroglider at the Kemble airfield and that ended the enterprise.
[1][2] After Julian's death the rights to the Wombat design passed in July 2000 to former helicopter pilot Mark Harrisson.
Harrisson had intended to put the aircraft back into production, but this plan was not completed.
