Amen bobbysocks....thank you for bringing that to the table...I for one have always admired Sir Frank Whittle....a real Engineer ahead of his time...Christopher Columbus was a freek in his day coz he said the World was round....Sir Frank Whittle plonked his design on the desk and they all freeked out !!!!....No one beyond him recognised the FUTURE...He had the courage of his convictions like all great designers...Every time i get on a Jet Airliner to go on my holidays...THIS man made it happen !! . Change in time and changed a lifetime....Bless Sir Frank Whittle...

Thanks Bobbysocks
