There wouldn’t be room for the clouds if an appropriate collection was established.

In the Daily Mail’s tribute today, it mentions that a memorial service is being planned at Yeovilton.

Never had the chance to meet him (I had an opportunnity once but work commitments prevented me from attending) but have loved his books since I first read Wings of the Navy and Wings of the Weird and Wonderful.
A long life well lived, and thankfully a relatively short time of illness at the end.
His books leave a rich legacy for future generations to enjoy.

Just to add my respects for a truly unique pilot !

What a loss, and what a man, one of the greatest aviators in history without a doubt. I’ll be raising a glass tonight. Blue skies and fair winds, Eric!

A true legend has left us, it’s time to celebrate his extraordinary life and achievements in Aviation. It is and will always be the ultimate pilot!
He will be missed. Rest in peace Eric.

Sorry to hear that. His book, like his life, was inspiring.
By: oz rb fan - 21st February 2016 at 23:15
the world is a much poorer place today,with the passing of cpt Brown,i met him for a few minute’s at legends in 2014, a wonderful man who could make anyone feel at ease..as some have said legend is a much used word but so appropriate when talking about Eric winkle Brown, may you always have blue skies and tailwinds sir.
and Panzer John if possible at an appropriate time can you please pass on our condolences.
