Well, I'm quite glad I came 2nd! Last week I won a mag competition, and got a great book all about Concorde, by Chief Test Pilot Brian Trudshaw. Who's a happy bunny?!

As the British pilot of the Antionette monoplan [Edward Fox,I think] said after beating the American in the Wright flyer, "We'll  share the prize!" A short quote from Those magnificent men in there flying machines. That prize was £10,000. Sorry marcus to be only offering you half a box of stale Tunnocks.  Congrats on the book win!

One of my all-time favourite films! Some of the planes were veterans, some were specially made for the film, and some are still flying as part of the Shuttleworth Collection, who also have the world's oldest flying plane, the Blackburn Monoplane of 1911 or 1912.
First a Concorde book, and now half a box of stale Tunnocks, does it get any better?
