Captain 'Winkle' Brown (merged)
BBC online today: BBC News - Captain 'Winkle' Brown: Is he the greatest pilot ever?

One quote:
Over his career, he flew 487 different types of aircraft, a world record that is unlikely ever to be matched.
Obviously the headline is pure journo hyperbole and an insult to every other test pilot that, but the story is good.

PS Just found his Wiki page: Eric Brown (pilot) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
