In 1976 I was bedbound in RAF Ely hospital, alongside Ken who had broken his ankle in a gyrocopter mishap. What a fascinating three days! A unique and highly memorable privilege to have shared his company.
Agree entirely - except for me it was Headley Court in 1973 or 74 ....!

...... which may say something about the safety of gyrocopters! (IIRC it was his back that time!)

Top bloke - RIP.
