I could listen all day to this amazing man tell the stories of his life in aviation. He was such a great speaker and seemed like such a down to earth gentleman.
What an incredible man to have put his life on the line continuously . We owe him so much - if ever anyone deserves a knighthood - he did !!! What he found out about aircraft performance and safety saved hundreds of aircrew lives.
This was an excellent presentation (though the camera operator didn't show all the slides...), with quite a few details not given in his other talks on RUclips. What a amazing life!
What an amazing orator. One of the greatest pilots to ever live. I could listen to him speak everyday for the rest of my life. It's a true shame he's gone.
Such a shame that the clowns responsible for documenting this are so incompetant. Give the Man a lapel mic, put the slides where he and us can see them, get the sound right and show this guy the RESPECT he rightly earned.
I would love to watch this again, this time with a decent cameraman and someone who knows how to synchronise properly. I first read a book about this man years ago. I wish I had been at this event. I would have thought that the RAS would be more competent than shown here.
I am so in awe of this man ! -Tragically, the sound is absolutely atrocious ! Much better when he moved away from the microphone. -Did no one check the sound beforehand ???
What an amazing talk. What a travesty that the filming was so poor. What a disgrace that half the audience saw fit to interrupt and leave for a bus 10 mins before the end. It would be excellent if the RAeS would consider editing this presentation to show all of the slides that were being referenced throughout the talk.
It would be relatively easy to get the slides and insert them in post. That is the trouble with using professionals from the wrong profession to shoot video. Hire a cameraman and he'll get it right - the sound, the lighting, the editing.
Never has any man, risked his life so many times, on so many aircraft, for as such as long as he had, and survived and thrived on such adversity and challenge as Eric "Winkle" Brown. I'm only sorry he didn't get to fly the X-15.
This man epitomises courage, patriotism and professionalism. If the average socialist achieves a tenth of what he accomplished, the UK would be a better place.
Great lecture but the cameraman seemed rooted to Winkle and steadfastly ignored the pics he wanted everyone to see. RIP Captain, a legend and a man small in stature but mighty in the art of controlling aeroplanes!
An amazing man, but this video could had been better if it had shown ALL the slides Captain Brown was referring to. Sloppy camera work from people who should had known better.
So Eric is the original source for 'hit the brakes he'll fly right by' and his generation saying, 'kick the tyres and light the fires' top gun is all plagiarism. Thank you for your service. Very interesting. And f u tom cruise.

Could listen to him all day.what a man

Unfortunately we're too busy giving them to dishonest politicians and spoiled pedo movie stars
An amazing man. A master aviator who was so modest and matter of fact about his huge list of achievements. A great presentation.
A absolutely great hero
Captain Brown continues to be one of the United Kingdom's national treasures. God rest the world's greatest naval aviator.
If only everyone could be as humble as this man. RIP Eric.
A great man, amazing accomplishments, a life lived to its full.
What a legend of aviation, and what an amazing life he had 👏 👏 RIP Mr Brown
95 years old, speaking coherently and still with a fairly sharp memory. 👍
WHAT A LEGEND MY HERO.
One of Britain's greatest men
Was he ever Knighted?
He was amazing. My hero. Good things come in small packages.
Bless the man.
Totally agree. Captivating talk, my hero
I nave watched this video three times.
This was an excellent presentation (though the camera operator didn't show all the slides...), with quite a few details not given in his other talks on RUclips. What a amazing life!
Thank you.

When Winkle got into a plane, the odds were often against him. That is a testimony, to his great bravery and amazing skills.
Such a shame more of the slides aren’t shown
Such a shame that the clowns responsible for documenting this are so incompetant. Give the Man a lapel mic, put the slides where he and us can see them, get the sound right and show this guy the RESPECT he rightly earned.
Come in the back door eh? Cheeky old lad. lol. Thanks uploader.
Excellent presentation by a very modest man. Disappointed that the cameraman could not pick up on the slides. Obviously not a aviation enthusiast.
Winkle was, as always, wonderful! The camera man however didn't seem to grasp that photographs do little good if they are not seen!
This man is my hero rest in peace sir
What an opening sentence"as my good friend Neil Armstrong said"
If only it was true.
@@AviViljoenit was you bastard

Never can a man fly so many types of aircraft again.
The escort carrier HMS Audacity, was orginially a german merchant ship called "Hannover".

How did they fail to give him a knighthood?
Amazing listening to this great man of Aviation. So interesting RIP Eric winkle Brown. Is this his last talk?
He needs a movie made about him
He doesn't.
An amazing man, but this video could had been better if it had shown ALL the slides Captain Brown was referring to. Sloppy camera work from people who should had known better.
Wish they had recruited him for Project Mercury in the name of cooperation with our allies.
Should have had a Knighthood. ❤😢
If he was Home counties and/or ex-OxBridge….. we would be welcoming, then warmly applauding ‘Sir Eric’.
Shame about that Scottish accent too.

Those ill-mannered people leaving to catch the bus five minutes before the end, couldn’t the driver wait…😡
2 thumbs down?
No, its the man who is important, photos can be recovered, but so much information from this mans mouth can never be recovered .
The fact that this man never received a knighthood is a disgrace.
This Guy is a Hero: They give Knighthoods to idiots now
Criminal
