Newark lands gyrocopter

We have them operating at our airfield (Watts Bridge, Queensland)most weekends, and the old Bensons still get regularly trotted out – personally I find them very boring and noisy.

By the sound of things it’s perhaps fortunate for them that I don’t think they’ll be ground-running it! 🙁

😀 Still ‘old’ news I’m afraid but perhaps this might be more to your taste .. http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/newsItem.php?id=74

The last time I spoke to the guys doing the restoration they’ve had excellent feedback from Australia but they were still looking for internal pictures of the cockpit to help speed up their work.

Talking of gyrocopters, can anyone let me of the present whereabouts of Benson G-AVIK…….? Any info very welcome.
