Well, we did 40 years ago.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
yes, it was great.
ReplyDeleteI remember it as it was yesterday and now I am reading, listening and watching AGAIN everything related to these times.
I started to be an aviation fan before all of it.
Perhaps you don't know the story of the two Judica-Cordiglia brothers that followed DIRECTLY from the terrace of their building here in Torino ALL the radio cummunications of the USSR activities since the beginning!!
Includind some communications (the first only on Morse!!) of agonizing persons from space.
it was an all do-it-yourself job.
Before reading this I read your post (fantastic!!) about Miles Aircraft.
I ask you to help me to find the what is possible about the Miles Hawk Trainer (the civil one, BEFORE the RAF contracts for the Magister).
I am writing a book about Franco Bianco, pioneer of civil and commercial aviation in Southern Patagonia, that in 1936 opened the route (solo flight) frona Punta Arenas and Santiago in Chile.
i had the honour to know him well when living in Punta Arenas myself.
This year with his family we'll celebrate his 100th year from birth, with the book, an exposition and I hope some conferences, both in Chile and here in Torino (Italy). His parents emigrated from here and he was born already in Punta Arenas, where he was the Italian Consul for a long time.
I had already from his family a lot of information and photos of his activities there.
Actually I am trying to find especially plans and drawings of the airplane code CC-FBB (Chilean registration) produced in 1936.
Congratulations for your blog.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards.
