Bearcat,

 

Thanks for your post. I went to that lecture and wished I had made notes, no need anymore!

 

There was a great moment (about halfway through Part 6) when Dave S is talking about his dream to fly a DH Hornet and the stories he'd heard about how pilots would loop with one prop feathered. A grey haired gentleman sitting not far from me piped up "Yes, that's what we used to do". It is difficult to hear that on the recording but it certainly got the audience's attention at the time.

 

Pete.
