Recently someone here in the group was asking about touring in Greece? I see a brave compatriot is _very_ shortly to transit that country by gyro', on his way, um, Around. Perhaps he could be contacted by email in due course for the skinny on his experiences there, by anyone planning to visit Greece in a Permit aircraft. One would expect his flying machine to attract the natives, perhaps the folks wearing hats.

Glenn, It was probably me. I am still awaiting a reply from Greek CAA to a 

letter specially translated into Greek and sent a month ago. Getting 

permission to overfly foreign countries for round the world fliers is 

immensely difficult to do oneself, especially it seems when you get past 

Italy! Most of the fliers seem to resort to agents who will fix you 

permission for £200 a country (and the generally compulsory handling agents 

etc at extra cost)  when I last asked. These companies presumably have 

standing arrangements  with somebody in each country who takes part of the 

cash. I had planned my own trip to Australia (which unfortunately went on 

permanent hold when my son developed Motor Neurone Disease) but had got 

almost to the point of deciding that the hastle of trying to arrange 

permission oneself made it not worth going, and had been thinking about 

whether I really wanted to shell out several hundred pounds for every 

country on the way!

            I don't know whether his gyro is certified, but if so that could 

well make it a bit easier. The last time I considered flying to Russia, I 

got the answer that it was only allowed if you carried a Russian navigator 

in the plane, so if they haven't changed their tune that is going to provide 

an extra challenge for him. Incidentally he appears to have got across 

Greece alright and to be about to land in Alexandria.

          Regards, David Joyce
