  4. Sad news. I think he had a good life though.
     
  5. Used to love watching ‘A round with Alliss’.
    I suppose I’d better use my Peter Alliss trivia:- he was the largest baby born in Europe in 1931; 14lbs 10oz.
     
  6. A golfing legend, commentated on major competitions for longer than I can remember, will be genuinely missed by thousands. RIP. :(

  7. Great pioneer of flight and also the early space programme. Fly to the stars.

    (*first supersonic in level flight)
     
  8. Considering his job reaching 97 is frankly remarkable!

  14. Indeed. He survived a very nasty crash in an F104 once I believe. Great pilot.
     
  15. What a guy. A life very well lived. RIP Chuck.
     
  16. RIP Chuck. I would imagine going supersonic for the first time is akin to sailing off the edge of what was perceived as a flat world. It really was flying into the unknown, and a negative outcome would have had us saying RIP all those years ago. Brave man indeed!
     
  17. Must have been amazing to do that in 1947.........I know how I felt in 1966 when my Enfield 500 single threw me up in the air when the kickstart spat back.
