Tupolev Tu144
So does he, or at least the two copies of his books and couple of his papers in my office use that spelling, as does Amazon, his business card, last years Christmas card....

In fact the Tu144 is not situated in Speyer but at the Auto & Technik Museum Sinsheim click Sinsheim -> Museum Sinsheim -> Tupolev 144 to find lots of pictures and the story about the transport from russia to germany.
The Tu 144 can be seen north of the Motorway 6 running from Mannheim to Heilbronn. Looks pretty small on the roof of the museum, I have to visit it next time I travel to this area of germany.

Take the post from SSD suggesting that JF writes a book and reread it substituting your name for Johns`. Some of the best aviation reads I`ve had have been engineer orientated.

There's room for both, I think. I, too, enjoy Genhis' posts very much and would welcome a book from him.
However, JF has had such an eventful life aviation-wise during a stage in UK aviation that was fast changing and rich in interesting types (and aeroplanes as well ;~) that his experience alone is of great value to those of us interested in such things. We get snippetes of it on PPRuNe and in his 'Flyer' column. It just whets the appetite for more!
Time passes quickly, the world moves on, and if people like JF don't commit their reminicences to paper they will be lost for ever.

Many thanks for the complements.
As it happens I'm talking to Bob Pooley about something at the moment, that is entirely technical, but I'm optimistic may appear before the end of 2003. However, maybe one of these days when my life becomes a little more quiet I'll think about something more "human".
Regarding our esteemed ex-Harrier colleague, I agree entirely, JF has too many good stories to keep to himself.

Get writing both of you (and BEags as well...).
I look forward to getting my copies autographed at a Bash some time!
