Essentially - yes. Plus a lot of vision from Sidney Camm who saw the potential when others didn't.

One name. Frank Whittle. The end........only it should have been the end, but we got suckered into handing over our R+D to the Yanks and the rest is history.

That aircraft, is it a Grumman F4F or an F6F?

Although in the air Tom did grin and Bear it he probably felt like he'd been to Hell and he was a bit Wild when he got back down on the ground.

Yep, that was low, almost as low as SoloTurk came when he landed at RAF Waddington airshow last year (I filmed it )

Was that the F-16? If so was you the guy that had to jump off the ladder - sorry I was pi**ing myself at that!

Not a link but thoroughly recommend you watch the latest Mythbusters, as it has great insight into the U-2.

Good, but not as good as the one James May did which was more in-depth and lasted longer
