Peter Twiss
In 1954, I was a Vickers apprentice, and managed to join a team of hydraulic fitters sent to Boscombe Down to repair a Valiant which had made and emergency landing there. Wandering around "B" hangar I came upon this amazing (secret?) aircraft. Whilst standing gawping a gentleman came up to me and asked me if I knew what it was, not knowing, he then explained what it was and how fast it it fly. I never forgot that day.
In 2001,at Trub's memorial, long after serving my time in Vickers Flight Test, I was introduced to Peter Twiss, and related my little story, he was graciously amused. I felt privileged. RIP.
