James Ketchell is about to become the first person to ever fly a gyrocopter around the world.
Sadly the media has carried little or nothing about this unlike previously highly sponsored events.
I have suggested on the LAA forum that the organisation should award him the Bill Woodhams Navigation Trophy which is currently sitting on a shelf at their HQ.
I sincerely hope the Honourable Company of Airpilots and others recognise his achievements forthwith.
James has previously rowed single handed across the Atlantic,climbed Everest and completed a solo bike ride around the world.
The mission is to inspire one million young people around the world to pursue their own goals and dreams, whilst raising funds for two great charities: Kindled Spirit, who support and rehabilitate young victims of human trafficking and slavery; and Over The Wall, who run residential activity camps for children with serious health issues.
