Recommended Posts

I was lucky enough to have dinner with him on Saturday night. It was quite funny in a way. I sat next to him and his wife and wanted to talk planes. he discovered that we had been to the same school and that he was brought up in the same Borders town that I lived in for many years and wanted to talk school and Melrose ! He showed quite an interest in coming to the FP dinner next year.

A lovely man and charming wife.

His talk on Sunday about the British Miles Supersonic project and his comments on the Me 163 and 262 were incisive, thoughful and authoritative.

If Carlsberg made the ideal weekend........................................

PS why has he not been favoured with more honours than he has been?? OK he is not a party supporter with a fat donor chequebook but surely if ever a man deserved recognition for what he has done?? The Yanks have him as the only non US citizen in their USN hall of fame !
