Well for their 3000th one they have none other than Eric "Winkle" Brown! First time I've ever wanted to listen to the show!

Unfortunately, I missed that episode, Ozzy.... :( ....

..mainly, because, in the olden days, the program used to interview Very Import and and well known people; whereas nowadays they seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel with Unimportant People who I have never even heard of before....

...so I rarely listen to it now on my Radio...

I watch "Sponge Bob" on the 'Tele now, instead... :dance: ...!

Paul..... :mrgreen: ...!

You haven't missed it yet Paul. It's not broadcast until next Friday. :lol:

It will be interesting to hear his choice of music.

I think it will be really interesting to hear Eric, one of the greatest pilots ever! Far more interesting than an actor or politician who has never done anything useful or interesting!

Looking forward to this, truly one of our countries finest. Always wondered why he has never been Knighted.

Cheers

If anyone deserved it, Eric would be one of my two aviation nominees alongside Alex Henshaw!
Okay, the Beeb have done an article today about him as he's on the wireless (tee hee) today ;-) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-30039300
