In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1970s as two auto gyros prepare to embark on an exhilarating journey. The scene unfolds at Ashford Airport, where Jeremy Metcalfe and Monny Curzon, both pilots from Campbell Aircraft based in Memberry Airfield Newbury, eagerly await their departure for the prestigious Paris Air Show. As the clock strikes noon, these fearless aviators donning contrasting overalls - Jeremy in light and Monny in dark - exude a sense of determination and adventure. Their auto gyros stand proudly beside them, ready to take flight across the channel towards their destination. The image captures a moment frozen in time; a testament to the innovation and passion that defined aviation during this era. Auto gyros were cutting-edge aircraft known for their unique ability to combine elements of airplanes and helicopters. This remarkable blend allowed for impressive maneuverability and versatility. While this particular photo does not mention commercial use explicitly, it serves as a reminder of how transportation has evolved throughout history. It invites us to reflect on the advancements made by pioneers like Jeremy Metcalfe and Monny Curzon who pushed boundaries with their daring exploits.
