Smile RB test flying the TSR2

Thanks Mogster,
I will have a look at this film clip.
What a sad story the TSR2 saga was - obviously with Roland test flying the aircraft it would have been a fantastic plane if it had become operational.
In his 'My Part of the Sky' memoirs you quickly get the feeling of his absolute 'love of flying' - his descriptions of aircraft handling and weather flying conditions are superb. You can see why Hawkers grabbed him to be one of their test pilots during the war.
