Britain's Greatest Pilot
Just watched the above mentioned programme on BBC2 and had to post to say wow!
Eric "winkle" Brown, what a life, not just as a pilot but also in general.
If you missed it watch on catch up or something, absolutely enthralling.
Cheers now

The book "Wings on my sleeve" by the man himself is absolutely riveting. I'm sure anyone who enjoyed the program would enjoy it. I'm not a book salesman BTW.

A quite remarkable man. Born at the right time and in the right place but nontheless he took it by the horns and made the most of it. Hats off.
