#75 Norman Surplus, First Man to Circumnavigate the World in an Autogyro

Video game designer, wind-farmer, lifeboat captain, cancer survivor and most recently the first man in the world to circumnavigate the world in an autogyro.   Also known as a gyrocraft or gyrocopter, these nifty flying machines are a cross between a helicopter and a motorbike. In 2010, Norman set out from his hometown Larne on a journey that would take him all around the world — and in a bizarre turn of events — nine years.    This is his story.    // To see a 'treasure trove' of all things related to Norman (including a photo) please visit https://bestofbelfast.org/stories/norman-surplus-gyro-circumnavigation   Best Of Belfast is Northern Ireland's #1 Interview Podcast.
