That is Pee-Wee's famous accident, discussed here many times. Go search for it.

It happens so fast , I can't tell what is happening. Is that a Merlin gyro?

It was a Wallis Gyro. Commander Wallis designed and built many models which looked quite CTL but only the later ones had an H-stab. I believe he never let anyone else fly his creations after this accident. Cmd. Wallis was the pilot of the James Bond gyro Little Nellie.
