Round-the-world gyrocopter attempt falters in face of Russian bureaucracy

He has flown 13,000 miles across 18 countries, passing over sandstorms and forest fires and surviving a crash landing that left him upside down in a lake.

But now it seems a Northern Irish man's attempt to become the first person to circumnavigate the globe in a gyrocopter may be foiled by an even greater obstacle: Russian bureaucracy.

Looks like fun, but I wouldn't want to fly it over Eastern Russia.

Wouldn't it have made more sense if he'd organised the necessary permissions BEFORE leaving ?

But Good Luck to him anyway.
