Apologies it this breaks Pprune rules - don't think RAeS counts as a commercial link - but there is great video interview with Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown here...
Video interview - Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown | Aero Society Channel (http://www.aerosocietychannel.com/2010/09/captain-eric-brown-interview/)
Apparently he was doing an aerobatic display with a He162 in Farnborough in 1945!!:eek:
And great quote about flying an General Aircraft flying wing - I had 19 flights in it because we had 19 observers(test engineers) at RAE and no-one would fly with me a second time!
A true aviation hero!
