Sorry for the late posting, but still a couple of days to view Friday's The One Show which included an appearance of Wing Commander Wallis - which didn't appear to have any advance warning. View here: http://www.bbc.co.uk...how_22_04_2011/ (watch from just after 15 minutes).
By the way, many happy returns for yesterday Ken (26th) 95 years and still flying, a great acheivement.

I was at Newark Air Museum's "Aeroboot" yesterday, and what should I pick up for only £3.00 but a copy of "The Lives Of Ken Wallis - Engineer and Aviator Extraordinaire" by Ian Hancock, signed by both the author and Ken Wallis himself!

Couldn't believe my luck!
