I am not sure why you suggested Anna might find the link you posted useful but I had a look at it and feel obliged to comment.

The story by Greg Goebel under the side bar of Origins has some serious errors of fact. One example is his version of Camm’s letter to Hooker. I attach a copy of the actual letter for you to see what I mean.

His version of how the BE53 came to grow a pair of rear nozzles and so became the Pegasus made my jaw drop. In my view there were many other errors (or repeated myths) but this is no place for such a list. However history deserves better.

Regards

JF
