Will SoW BoB include all planes or just BoB time?

No, it's not. Completely different design.

A helicopter uses a propelled rotor to push air down to generate lift and thrust.

An Autogyro has a propeller that moves the aircraft forward, while the comparably slowly rotating "rotor" acts as a rotating wing and provides lift by air resistance.

You can notice the difference in the axis of the rotor in forward flight:
A helicopter has the rotor tilted forward to provide lift and forward thrust.
The autogyros rotor is tilted aft to provide more air resistance against the airstream to generate lift.

I doubt limited material is the primary problem.

Wasn't Oleg saying something about lack of cockpit references?

The hampden did vital work during the BOB mining ports etc, my vote is for it!

If nothing else it will make a great target for Bf110s! Apparently with bomb load gone, it could manoeuvre like a fighter!
