I had not heard of Capt Brown until I saw a link on the BBC news website. Awe-insipiring.
I can recommend his book. You need to remind yourself that it's a true story - I don't think you'd make up something with so many incredible escapes/adventures in it.
Here it is on Amazon - [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002VCR0OO ]Amazon Link[/url]
Thanks, just reserved that at my local library. Large print edition, but hey, easier to read 🙂
Just read about him on the BBC wow what an amazing human being.
Can't understand why he has been given a knighthood.
Arise Sir Eric.
If you didn't hear it this morning, catch it on iplayer, amazing listening!
Loved his story about getting away with pulling a loop through each span of the Forth Bridge in a spitfire
Eric is going to be on the Jeremy Vine show today Radio 2. 12 - 2.00pm.
