Cool Gyrocopters and Aerial Work

Does anyone have any thoughts on this matter? My understanding is that the only aerial work allowed on Gyrocopters (I still prefer Autogiro) is flying instruction and air displays. As a professional licence holder (although not qualified on giros), I think it would be a great idea to use them for aerial photography, taxi work, searches and several other things. Has anyone in the UK done this recently?
I understand that this is getting into the realms of a full air transport category deal, but it is a great pity that the full potential of these machines was never realised and we prefer to do it all more expensively with helicopters.
