britfrog 180 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 About 15 years ago during winter months the manager at Popham would arrange for test pilots to come and give us a talk in the evenings, we had Trubshaw , Beamont and loads of household names many of whom are no longer with us, but one man who had us in stiches was this man, Eric Brown read this article, which really doesnt do him full justice. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2320463/ROBERT-HARDMAN-Hero-Captain-Eric-Winkle-Brown-makes-Biggles-look-like-wimp-tells-story.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-22254048 Link to post Share on other sites
