At the de Havilland Museum with Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown


Good day out at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum in London Colney on Saturday; unveiling of the new Navy exhibition by Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown, veteran combat and test pilot, credited with the first landing of a twin-engined aircraft and a jet aircraft on a carrier. The Museum is worth a visit - if you can find it - and the Captain (now 95!) was on good form. Bought a signed poster by top aviation painter Philip West, so that will go on the wall for my birthday on the 28th...
