Concur with this one, excellent read! To further the thread, I was writing an article on the Sea Hawk, found one of the pilots Brown mentioned as flying in his display team.
That gentleman came into the RN at the end of WWII, became an FAA pilot and flew everything from Fulmers to Phantoms. Wonderfully funny and professional gentleman. It was VERY cool to go to the FAA Museum with him and see some the aircraft that he actually (as in that machine, not just the type) on display.
