      RIP Eric 'Winkle' Brown.

      It is reported that Eric 'Winkle' Brown has passed away. For those fans of aviation history, tis indeed a sad day.

      Coming from an aviation family this is indeed sad news. A boyhood hero of mine.

      Blue skies & tailwinds Sir.

      Edit: Those with an interest in British aviation, or aviation in general, may I suggest a read of "Wings On My Sleeve". Riveting.

        @Aetas:

        But it is definetly an before IH pic! @neph93

        Definitely pre-IH @Aetas. Although I think I'd just picked up my first pair of selvedge jeans about that time.

        @Giles:

        I have no idea what the text says next to @neph93 , but I think it's probably 100% certain that most people don't scroll down that far…..

        It was all about European immigrants to Norway. There's a radio interview somewhere too.  Internet+local media=lifelong potential for embarrassment 😃

          Yes, I was interviewed yesterday for live local radio - cringe…..On the up side, I did manage not to swear once (unless you consider fart a swear word)....

                  I'm just going to assume that you listed "fart muffling" as one of the positive attributes for 21oz denim.

                                      I really like that Bridgeport vest. Would love to see a fitpic. @Hannya1977

                                      In the mean time, here's one from the Freewheelers blog:

                                        If you are in one of the 12 states that has a primary today, please go vote.  It does actually matter, particularly for the downballot races.  And arguably, those positions make a bigger difference in your daily life, so go do it.

                                            my random announcement is:

                                            The entire world has every right to look at the United States & laugh.

                                            This entire thing feels like a huge hoax/joke/prank, the candidates, the things they say on purpose in public places . . . . sheesh, we are all f^cked regardless of who wins/losses/can there be a draw.
