Drifting off thread, I know, but did Winkle Brown really fly the 163 under power and, if so, where? He mentioned doing so in a TV interview a while back but in his autobiography only describes gliding flights. He may well have covered up an unauthorised powered flight. He is not the sort of man to exaggerate his already considerable achievements but it's about time he told us the full story!
