Interview with Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown – test pilot legend

Hi Stu,
I will try to find the notes for the one guy I can quote.
The other I can’t quote fully at the moment, as it was part of the deal of him telling me, maybe sometime in the future, after he has taken his last flight…..
Cheers

I must admitt, amongst the whirlwind pilots I spoke to, two said it was a b***** dangerous aircraft to fly and they were glad when they had stopped flying them.

B***** dangerous… 😀

Hi Jerry

Can you tell us why they thought it B***** Dangerous… 😉

Stu…

…….
So are all those Whirlwind pilot’s stories about the Whirly being a “Gentlemens Aeroplane” untrue ……..

I thought I had changed that last night…:confused:

Now I find I’m unable to do so myself, would a passing mod do so for me please?

I must concur, mods need to change the title slightly!

I’ve met Capt Brown a couple of times and he’s a fantastic guy!

Just a quick note and I hope you don’t mind me asking – but do you think the title could be changed to ‘Interview with…’? Only reason is that the current title looks like it could be a link to an obituary.

Said and done… 😉

Sorry March.

I have to agree with AJ Marsh, I also read the thread title with a lump in my throat.
