Henry Millicer...Airtourer designer

I was 7 when I first read Nevile Duke's book "Test Pilot". I'd read anything about flying back then...and nothing much has changed. As for Airtourers, I had a share in a Super 150 for years; a magnificent beast. Whilst being an Immigration Officer at Heathrow Terminal 4, I was landing passengers from a flight arriving from Australia. A young lady presented me with her passport and I looked at the name...Millicer. Hardly a common name...! So I asked "Are you related to Henry?" and she replied "He was my grandfather!" I was able to tell her that I had one of his aeroplanes, and that everyone who flew it held it in high regard. Quite a nice way for her to arrive in a new country!
