G-YROXNorman Surplus, the proud owner of G-YROX is attempting to fly around the world in his MT03.  He set of from Larne on Monday 22nd of March for a trip that he expects to last about 4 months.

Before leaving the UK, his first stop is to get his machine checked and serviced by the manufacturers just to check that everything is set for the epic journey.

The Gyrocopter Experience have supplied him with a satellite tracking device so that everyone can follow his progress in real time.  This updates about every 10-30 minutes from anywhere in the world.  The Gyrocopter Experience have also sponsored his Search and Rescue insurance, just in case.
