Eric 'Winkle' Brown passed away yesterday, the like we will never see again. A true Gentleman in every sense of the word. R.I.P. Eric, you will be missed greatly.

Derrick, I have to be completely honest and admit that I didn't know who this chap was. But I looked him up to find he was considered to be Britain's greatest ever test pilot. Thanks for letting us know, what a chap he was. RIP Eric.
