Autogyro!

So here I am at a very busy Blackbushe trying to avoid a load of cub scouts waiting for a quick local flight over their house and I see this Autogyro.

It's something of a first for me as I've never actually seen one live. In fact the nearest I've been to one is watching "You're Only Young Twice" with Ken Wallis flying Little Nellie across Japan. So it's something of a rarity to see a real, live version!

Wonder what they're like to fly?

  1. Well, they are mad and fun to fly. Think of a kid being let loose in a sweet shop. It a real seat of the pants aircraft which you have to feel to appreciate. And the things you can do....believe me it leaves manya person standing. I have been flying gyros for some time and wouldn't swap it for anything, well the only thing would be a Harrier Jump Jet.

    Cheers.
