Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown - new video interview
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
Apparently he was doing an aerobatic display with a He162 in Farnborough in 1945!!
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!

I also have 'Wings on my sleeve' and agree with your comments. I was fortunate enough to attend one of his after dinner speeches. Brilliant. He autographed my copy fo rme. I had a clear- out of Aviation memorobilia when I retired. I kept that one, of course.

Oh dear this might be called a commerecial but did you know that WomS has been re published and updated? Well worth the read. As some of the stuff in it was classified when the original came out.
