Maybe one day those young men might realize what a giant they had met.

11:52 - An actual discussion of what HOTOL was intended for, you rarely heard that at the time (even Whittle was suprised). EDIT: Unfortunately Whittle's response was the same as the UK Gov - he made his excuses and quickly left. If Alan Bond had come up with the SABRE idea by '87, would have been fascinating to see him explain it to Whittle.

For a small '87 production this has very impressive video, but terrible sound.
