    On the 9th February 1944, Flt. Lt. Cox D.F.C. lined his Spitfire up for take off from R.A.F. Hibaldstowe in Lincolnshire. Unbeknown to him, he had W.A.A.F. L.A.C.W. Margaret Horton sat on his tailplane to steady it whilst taxiing.
    Consequently Neil Cox and Margaret were soon at 800ft, she clinging on for dear life and him experiencing handling difficulties.
    After returning to earth intact, Margaret, revived with a cup of NAAFI tea, returned to her duties and lived on into her 80's. Here's lookin' at you kid

    For the RAF's 1948 annual stateside goodwill tour the U.S. Airforce asked if Britain would ship out a squadron of jetfighters.

    The RAF decided, instead, to fly out six de Havilland Vampire fighters to make the first Atlantic crossing by jets. The U.S.A.F. hearing of this tried to beat them by flying in the opposite direction.

    The Vampires left Stornoway and raced to Labrador in three stages beating the Yanks by one day before going on to fly aerobatic displays through Canada & USA to much acclaim.

    In April 1969 the Harrier Jumpjet entered service with the Royal Airforce. This was the worlds first V/STOL aircraft and variants of this remarkable warbird have served for more than forty years with a final out of service date of 2018.

    It was created by Hawkers' chief designer Sydney Camm, an engineer, who during his career, designed such notables as the Hurricane, Typhoon and Hunter to name just a few.

    The picture shows Sidney Camm.

    In explanation the brewers wrote," To blaze a trail for the transportation of livestock by air the Guernsey cow Nellie Jay and cowman Elsworth Bunce were flown over the crowd at the 1930 St. Louis International Air Exposition.

    Nellie was the first cow to fly and Elsworth the first person to milk in flight. The milk was then poured into containers and parachuted down to the crowd so that even flying pioneer Charles Lindbergh could drink a glass in celebration.

    As a publicity stunt, Elsworth certainly milked it for all it was worth. A truly mooooving experience."

    About this, the brewery wrote," Early February 1942 saw an R.A.F bomber crew ditching in the freezing North Sea off Norway. Stranded in their dinghy they released a homing pigeon called Winkie, which then flew 129 miles on oil clogged wings to George Ross's loft at Broughty Ferry near Dundee.

    George contacted the R.A.F. immediately. Technicians then computed the flying times and wind speeds and were able to pinpoint the crew's position and so effect a successful rescue.

    Winkie was awarded the ****en Medal for animal bravery and she was the 1st of 32 pigeons to be similarly honoured during World War II.

    Talk about giving you wings."


    I did not censor the name of the medal. It happened automatically.

    Robertson, realising what had happened, dived after her and caught her up at 3,500 ft. He then righted her and deployed her parachute at 2,000 ft. before deploying his own and landing safely.

    Debbie, however, still unconscious, landed badly and was severely injured. Nonetheless, she survived and eventually fully recovered.

    Greg dived into the Guinness Book of Records."

    It was later proclaimed that radar in all of its forms was fundamental to the Allies winning the war."

    In desperation, in March the City chiefs hired meteorologist, Dr Wallace Howell to make rain.

    His first attempt at cloud seeding by air on 28th March, failed, when his aircraft was grounded, ironically, due to fog. But from thereon he was successful, even creating 'Howells Snow' in April, followed by floods.

    Tony Hancock injected humour into it in his programme 'The Radio Ham' with "Mayday Mayday Mayday" - "What's he talking about, that was three weeks ago, it's nearly June"."

    Ales are cheaper to buy the equipment to make than lagers; hence ales are the vast majority of craft brews being made, at least in the USA.

    I hope this comes out ok. Not a beer but saw this poster for a vodka. I asked if they had one they could part with but no so took a photo. It is DEEP EDDY VODKA. I saw it when I was at the shopette on Ft. Meade. Hope I may be able to get it before they throw it away.
