14 January 2010 - Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone from the Gyro School. We are still training although the snow has currently slowed everything down...but not for much longer we hope. Look forward to seeing you soon. Happy flying.

12 November 2009 - All new MT0Sport has arrived

We are proud to announce that Gyro School is now training students on the new MT0Sport. While we can still train students on the MT03 the Sport has taken it to another level with a faster curise speed andmuch more agility.

9 June 2009 - Around France in 1500 miles

Most recently 3 Autogyro Pilots have been setting off on a trip around France, Kai Maurer, Norman Surplus and John Butler. Owing the brilliant pre-planning of Mr Butler, the amazing journey would take us from Dover to Le Touquet then on to Chartres and further along via Clermont Ferrand, Le Blanc, Sarlat Domme (taking in the beautiful and stunning Rocamadour) to Bois de la Pierre near Toulouse as the most suthern part of the journey. We then headed off in an easterly direction enroute to Millau to see the Viaduct from the air (truely spectacular - Architect Norman Foster) and onto Vichy then Nevers before getting formally grounded for the day by the weather Gods in a little strip called Buno Bonnevaux (a gliding strip). The next day saw us returning to Le Touquet once again via the western Part of the Paris TMA with the Eiffel Tower to our 3 o'clock. The return over the channel was one of sheer amazment as the sun reflected off the channel and while the journey seem to have flown past, it was an unforgettable feeling of being able to fly so freely and closely over some amazing landscapes and structures within France. A trip so exciting that I would encourage anyone with a flying machine to take 'time out' and try it...especially in an Autogyro!

3 May 2009 - Popham Trial Flight Competition

We have pleasure in announcing our trial flight winner, Mr B. Mortimer, who took part in our "Win a free 15min trial flight" competition at Popham on Saturday 2nd of May. The draw was held at 5pm at our stand and the winner was drawn by Emma, a member of the public enjoying the show.

Please come and visit and if there are any questions that you can think of, we will be there to answer them for you.

2 March 2009 - Flying in 2009

Flying here at the Gyro School has not stopped even over the New Year period, we are very busy and always happy to welcome new students.

2 December 2008 - SPLASH 2009

Splash was an absolute success for all of us this year. The response at the Autogyro stands was unpresidented and altogether we were surrounded from the first minute to the last. Ottmar (The CEO of the MT-03factory in Germany) was also present and to hand to answer all and any questions you could have thrown at him. The Calidus and the MT0Sport were also on show and looked amazing. I have to say that the flying deck-chairs have been overhauled and turned into good-looking aircraft with propper seats and instruments and big screens for both on board. We have come a long way but we are on the right way now. the VPMs are also close to certification by early next year and the ELAs should follow soon after. Now here's to another exciting year which I am sure will see many more people take to the skies in these mesmerising machines...

1 October 2008 - The new Autogyros...

The newer version of the MT03, the MTOSport will soon be available as will the enclosed version of the MT03. The MTOSport might even be available towards the end of this year but the enclosed version will still have to wait until at least the middle of next year, however it does look a stunner with plenty of space in the back....

5 August 2008 - GYROfest 2008

The 1st official GYROfest 2008 was a resounding success. People flew in from as far away as Northern Ireland, Kendal and York. The BBQ at Stoke was great and provided much needed refreshment to the pilots upon arrival. It is fair to say that we have managed to become the biggest fly-in of Autogyros this millennium - and this is only the beginning. The weather however thwarted our efforts to fly into Abbeville, heavy winds and rain were predicted the next day. We decided to cancel the trip across the channel and fly into Andrewsfield (next to Stansted) instead, where we had sandwiches and drinks before departing 'en mass' once again. All in all it was a fantastic site to see so many Autogyros fly in formation and we were never short causing a stir wherever we landed....safe landings and here's to the next one in 2009!!!
