Sure was, and we must not forget that we only got where we are now by these guys pushing the boundaries of their era's cutting edge technology.

I recall running no another Brit living in France at the Royan ferry (on the Gironde) a few years back. fell into conversation and I said I was headed to a RAFA event in Bordeaux. "Aah, he said, did you ever fly in an Avro?" "Just once, at 13 as an air cadet in an Anson. Why do you ask?" "My Grandfather was AV Roe." reduced me to stunned silence
