Captain Eric "Winkle" Brown at 94

Surprised and delighted to find tonight's Radio 4 entire iPM program had excerpts of a long interview with Captain Brown - catchable on iPlayer BBC Radio 4 - iPM, 20/04/2013 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rw940).

Perhaps the BBC can be persuaded to play the rest of the interview or put it out on-line.

For those who hadn't heard him in person, I can say that he come over just the same when he gave us a talk about the de Havilland types he had flown.
Such a pity the presenter kept referring to Hermann Goring - she could at least have noticed how EB pronounced the name.

My father Peter Horne Fleet Air Arm WW2, watched his first landing on a carrier, most of the fitters realised their time was up, a BLOWLAMP FOR A POWERPLANT, WE'LL ALL BE OUT OF WORK!

Someone seems to have started a new thread on this subject, so perhaps a moderator can merge them to avoid confusion
