Capt Eric 'Winkle' Brown RN died aged 97 today - one of the world's greatest of aviation greats, covering stringbag biplanes to jets - over 2400 carrier landings and 487 different aircraft types in his log book.
Naval pilot and test pilot extraordinaire, an inspiration to many and a gentleman in the true sense of the word - fly high and with a good tailwind. Glass raised and RIP.
