    The example at “The Helicoter Museum” is on display in an unrestored condition – almost completly “as found” I would suspect. Whether or not you could purchase it off of them who knows.
    How about a replica of the 504 fuselage Autogyros? There are people about who have built/rebuilt such fuselages.
    All the very best in your quest HP.

    As for Autogyros being rare we have one turn up at VAC events about once a year… Plus Shipdham hold the “Wallis days” every year where a number of Autogyros (and Ken Wallis) Fly-in and you’ll find some at the PFA Rally too.

    With regard to “spotters” – you have those that like to stare longinly at what they wish they had, those who jot every concievable number, those who just take pictures those on the extremity of it that actually cause damage be it to property or actual aircraft and those who fill every concievable station between.
    I used to take all the numbers – I don’t now. I only do at some of the VAC events as it provides a back up to the booking form and helps trace those who choose not to book in.
    I’m happy to watch, photograph and help out. Often I’ve helped empty or refill a hangar. It does me these days…

    the main road goes very close to the threshhold at lakenheath, and there are a couple of muddy lay-by’s you can park up in. you’ll be getting F-15’s flying over your head at very low level, or nice shots of them on re-heat at take off.

    Just to let you know that the laybys are gone and the tarmac one beside the road is also “closed”. It appears that the council want only parking in the spotting area – fair enough and safer.
    Be advised too that they are working on putting lights in at the Wangford junction (the turn off the main drag to the “enthusiasts” area.) and there is a 30 speed limit all the way from the end of the wood through to Brandon itself.
    Just so you know…
    The Americans don’t fly on Weekends, Bank Holidays (UK) or American holidays. Fridays aren’t really worth bothering with either as most of the flying is done by midday – although if there is an incentive flight (one of the vertical climbouts) they are usually on a Friday.
    Visitors can be interesting from time to time but don’t count on many…

    So by what you are saying Trinny take off from a destination become more hazardous as you have uploaded fuel and a stout all day breakfast and therefore you must get close to the Max AUW…. 😀

    How can you stop selling an “All Day Breakfast” at 11AM? – Surely trades description act comes into effect there…

    The Turdy situation is dependant on the AVDC so your guess is as good as mine
