Proud 2. B a bloody . A. I. Did.my bit 8n the army so did my dad nd his brother. For our numbers we.have outshone . All other communities in almost every walk of life.

This video showing after 10 years😊

His life story reads like a work of fiction but it was real.

Pity he wasn’t an English cricketer or jockey or golfer….. or you would be addressing him as Sir Eric. Too Scottish unfortunately. Shame..

Damn, chills🥶

The Anglo Indians were unwanted by India and also Britain. They had nowhere to go. Left in a country that was interested in gaining its independence, they had neither language, religion, culture or life habits to blend in with the local population. They had to immigrate. Looking at the nation now, most thank God that they did!

Crazy to think this was just 5 years ago. So happy he became ISRO chairman. He is taking ISRO in a good direction by doing away with all those ULV and HLV programs and focusing on just one NGLV program. He realizes the importance of speedy progress. I hope he gets an extension as ISRO chairman.

Will we ever see Browns like again? More importantly will we need his like again? May he rest in Peace, knowing he did his best and that it was enough!

He makes me proud to be British. . . and I'm a Yank.

Until I heard of this admirable man on KZbin I didn't even know he had existed 🙂 Which is surprising considering I've been passionate about aircrafts in general and especially early jets... I just LOVE this man, he's so humble and so well-mannered and he has that typical British sense of humor 😄😄 By the way he pulled up that list that he made for that interview you can tell he used to be a military man... I wish I had had a grandfather like that...

I remember seeing Melvyn performing at an Anglo Indian event in Kolkata way back in about 1965

What an extraordinary document. The day when two of my heroes met and both came off well.

There needs to be an award for the Greatest Briton. Eric Brown should be one of the first given it posthumously.

A priceless record these face to face videos.

The greatest naval aviator. What a fantastic person.

Yuri Gagarin had to bail-out of his capsule to land, incredible.

What an awesome meeting of historical people

When Neil Armstrong regards you as a hero, then I think you may have made it!

Reading about Mr.Browns and General Chuck Yeager are what inspired me to get my pilots license God protect you both maybe I'll get to see you at the hangar in the sky

His other nickname was ' 9 lives '.

Absolutely amazing aviator and man

What a humble man, who cares about knighthoods, he had an amazing life, and is a peoples hero, means more than silverware.

Eric Brown and Yuri Gagarin. Two colossus in the annals of human achievement, astride the world, and yet, both so humble and unassuming... the very antithesis of the loud, vacuous "nothingness" of modern MSM "celebrity". My hat is officially doffed in honour of the memory of these 2 great humans.

Thank you sir

1. What was your main impression during your flight? Gagarin: The beauty of the universe and our world. 2. What were your main sensations during this flight? Gagarin: Initially tremendous noise and acceleration at liftoff. Once in orbit, it changed to serene peace with little sensation of speed. I felt like I was sitting there, drifting around. Except you could realized that the Earth was moving away from you. 3. Were you concerned for your safety? Gagarin: No, because a Test Pilot knows how to cope with Fear. But I felt a little trepidation about reentry and the landing. I wasn't frightened, but I was concerned. I knew things could go wrong during that phase. 4, Did you have much to do during the flight? Gagarin: No, not compared to a standard aircraft Test Pilot. I was a passenger for much of the time. 5. Would you rather be an Astronaut or an aircraft Test Pilot? Gagarin: By far, I'd rather be a Test Pilot. Because then I have better control over my fate. 6. Would you like to return to Test Flying? Gagarin: I sincerely hope I'll be allowed to do so. 7. What thing that you saw on Earth impressed you? Gagarin: The huge size of Mother Russia. 8. Did you have any problem on reentry or the bail out? Gagarin: I was very, very conscious of the heat from reentry. I was very grateful to bail out of the spacecraft and land by parachute.

Great man . great video

Shri. Ramakrishnan Sir, the pride of ISRO and a scientist with extraordinary engineering sense and knowledge. Feeling so proud to have worked with him.

😭 it's my loving Dad

Great people

Sri ramakrishnan is a very committed leader to the LV technology in india and also a person of noble thoughts and generous person towards the employees.his loss is unbelievable.may his soul rest in peace.

Sad news. A kind and generous man as well as a scientist and engineer from an earlier more noble generation.

We lost a great technocrat and a man of simplicity today by the demise of Shri.S. Ramakrishnan Sir.

Yes, he was an authority on launch vehicle technology in general and propulsion systems in particular. His review meetings were education for youngsters and elders alike. We still cherish the days listening to his learned views at VSSC. Pranamam to the great soul and prayers for the family.

Interesting that Gagarin admitted that he ejected from the Vostok before landing. As has been stated above, the Soviets never officially acknowledged that he had done this - although they did admit that the other Vostok flights always had the single occupant eject before touchdown. The reason they didn't want to admit that Gagarin had ejected is because they were worried that all the official records that Vostok 1 had gathered would be nullified by the FAI - the body which governs official aviation and space records.

A nice interview. The Anglo Indians were in the Railways. Engine drivers of all important trains were Anglo Indians. I remember well, the prestigious train Deccan Queen running between Pune and Mumbai has an Anglo Indian engine driver by the name Dunn. He was given a big send off on his retirement with coverage in the news papers. The Anglo Indian carry good traits like sincerity, diligence and straightforward nature. Overall they are an asset

Agree with Mr Hudson. Eric Brown should have received a knighthood no question. But let's not bestow such awards on people who richly deserve it.

My total hero ! God bless you

thanks for documenting this.

Such an honest man.

Such a humble, courageous and remarkable man. Most certainly should have been knighted.
