That's tremendous! Will forward to his grand daughter who may not have seen it.

I was fortunate to know "General Jimmy" more than somewhat, and was always struck by how little ego (read: none) he had when of course he was entitled to more than anyone. He had a crisp, precise way of speaking with a British tint: often said "chap" and "aeroplane."

Man-o-man, when I think of the things I never asked him...

I share his birthday. Father of the six pack of flight instruments that allowed instrument flight by reference to them only. Winner of the Schneider Trophy, Bendix Trophy and Thompson Trophy, Shell Speed Dash, Fastest landplane record, and more. What a man.
