I know this is in the Stiff List but Winkle' Brown was such a character that I think he deserves his own thread.
The man who flew more types of aircraft than any other pilot, risked his neck perfecting deck landing and just generally being one of Britain's greatest pilots.
Some info on the man, sometimes fact it more impressive than fiction
