Eric "Winkle" Brown to be guest on Desert Island Discs!

Proved wrong about the luxury item as he chose his log books.
Has anyone read the book he mentioned?

I’ve also just listened to it. Many memories from his recent TV programme but never dull or boring.
Great music to listen to as well.
I always thought he and Alex Henshaw would make fantastic guys to be at a dinner party with.
Wish him good health for many years to come.
And thanks for all your work.

His song choice ‘Irresponsible’ and his story regarding the bridge really made me smile 🙂

There are no geo-restrictions on BBC Radio.

It is indeed

Thanks – obviously not as daft as I look!:D

I’m thinking Wildcat/Martlet

It is indeed

Apart from the vampire/hurri thing a good resume here

Anyone recognise the aircraft in the first picture? I’m thinking Wildcat/Martlet, but happy to be proved wrong!

One of the best 45 minutes of radio I can remember. Bloody marvellous. DAI

Seconded…………!!! What an amazing life.

On Radio 4 now ….

I bet there will be some quality pop free music to listen to as well.
Can anyone have a shilling bet on what he may take with him as his luxury item.
I’ll guess something like a chess set.

Nor me til you made me think about it!!

Ah, thank you. The obvious hadn’t occurred to me!

I think Radio 4 will be covering the Cenotaph parade on Sunday, so that may explain why the first broadcast has slipped to Friday.

Errr, isn’t Friday usually the repeat of the programme? If so, that suggests that the early birds should be listening this Sunday morning coming!
