# Sorry to hear that.

colourified for example.

# Hmmm, I think he'd appreciate that.
He thought all the contraptions in hospital were great. He loved gadgets and was just getting quickly into computers.

# I saw him as the Frank Sinatra of the aviation Rat Pack.
This picture reminds me of Frank and the boys walking along outside of Sands.

What did he get the O.B.E for?

# The guy at the end drove a Morgan sports car
and was a real charmer, apparently...
Seeing as my dad was 6 foot(ish) in that, it goes to show how tall the tall guy is!

The O.B.E was for his work in aircrash investigation.
Those reconstructions they do (the giant morbid jigsaws) and all the math and deductions, well he pretty much came up with it all. He did the first reconstructions, and I have been told that with out his input, the Spitfire may have been cancelled in favour of more Hurricans. He also figured out the German V2 rocket war head and made improvements that have made air safety what it is today.

The person who set the guessthebaby challenge didn't have anyone guess correctly.

The Aircraft was yellow.
The suits were cool.
The attitude was laid back but intense.
