Captain Brown

I've been listening on the radio to stories about Capt Eric "Winkle" Brown, who died on Sunday at the age of 97.

He had an extraordinary life, was a world record holder and true war hero. Read more here. He flew 487 different types of aeroplane, a record it is unlikely anyone will better.

Isn't it a pity the people we revere these days are X-Factor winners and so called reality TV stars?
