RAF_Louvert Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 . Really an amazing find, Angels1100. I sat and watch this entire video early this AM while enjoying my first cup of coffee of the day. Many thanks for sharing this Sir. Cheers! Lou . Quote
tranquillo Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Thanks for posting that. It was a real treat to see it again. Quote
+Polovski Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Nice to have a decent documentary / interview (without the usual dumbing down now) - charming fellow too, good old fashioned English gent with wit and still sharp at 96 amazing. Quote
Olham Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Surely one of the most interesting British originals of our younger history - born into a time, when you could still be a pioneer in many areas, he seems to have made the most of it. A true British engineer and gentleman of a strong generation, gone. Rest in peace, Mr. Sopwith - your name will never die. Quote
Shiloh Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Pure gold I say. I wished they asked him more in-depth questions about the Camel, Pup, Strutter etc. and how he felt they influenced the outcome of the war and questioning along those lines. I too am amazed at how some men seem destined for playing a big-role in history but as Olham mentioned, it's not easy to be a pioneer in these modern times. Quote
