Yes, that Eric Brown - typical of the man that it doesn't mention his rank or decorations.

 

Excellent (if a bit short) book detailing the development and service life of the Seafire written by a man who figures frequently in the story. Well worth searching out a copy if you're a fan.

I recently had the pleasure of taking an ex FAA seafire pilot flying in the Stearman, a chap named Keith Quilter, he brought along his logbooks and had some captivating stories to tell including the one where he was shot down at Tokyo bay in his Corsair, instead of bailing out he ditched so he could fly away from the mainland and was luckily picked up by a US submarine, he apparently has always maintained a soft spot for the Stearman from his days of training at Pensacola but hadn't flown in one since those days, it was nice that we have a Navy variant but sadly not one he flew according to the serial numbers.
