The speculation that this could have been an Fa330 is presumably just a headline attention grabber, not a serious suggestion? There were certainly Benson-based gyro-gliders around in the UK in the early 1960s and so a far more likely contender. The earliest example I remember seeing was one being towed into the air behind a car, during the Battle of Britain day display at RAF Gaydon in 1961.
