I reckon a 300-400 mph fighter might find an autogyro a bit hard to knock down.

Had a look... place in the lake district does autogyro experience days. No mention on their site about COVID restrictions....

There always used to be an autogyro club at RAF Benson in Oxfordshire. Dunno if it's still there.
