Oh dear oh dear. A bad few days, first Ray, then a close RAE boffin friend and now Dizzie.
Dizzie and I worked together on the H126 above doing some stalling trials back in 1964. He said it was the worst thing he had ever flown as the wing drops went almost to the inverted when one wing eventually let go (to be expected when operating at an equivalent CL max of 7 - yes seven thanks to the jet flap)
He was the most wonderful bloke to work with in any circumstances because he had seen it all, done it all and had us in fits all the time with his stories of the past and present.
The best of his generation only survived what they had to do in their time because they had hands. Really good ones. Dizzies were as good as anybody's.
I bet he is cracking jokes about his final prang with some very well known names right now. Almost makes you want to join the party.
