British Aviation in the 60s - Biplanes and Single Turbines

[@wendellhughes2184]

Thanks so much for posting this, there is a lot of history in the clip. I recognize 2 people at the very beginning . Dr. J.H.B. Urmston is on the right walking towards his Currie Wot, I recognize the sports jacket from his photo in "Hampshire Homebuilt", published in the spring/summer 1967 issue of Air Progress. Just to left, without his cap is John O. Isaacs, the designer/ builder of the Fury. I recognize John from photos in his book, "An Aeroplane Affair" Airymouse was the name Harald Penrose gave his Wot in his book by the same name. These 2 books are superb aviation writing, and the Hampshire Homebuilt article by Dr Urmston is also excellent writing that reminds of Penrose. The Air Progress article said the Dr Urmston was an author, and does anyone know if he published in the aviation press? You can see Airymouse painted on the rudder of Dr Urmston's Wot
