I pulled out this old 1984 documentary / interview by Raymond Baxter in a thread about the Machhi 202, but I've since thought that as he was such an influential fellow in the aviation world and such a charchter that he deserved his own topic.

 

I could listen to this man, who was 96 years old at the time of the interview, all day long. What a time to be alive and what massive involvement he had.

 

Raymon Baxter was a Battle of Britain Spitfire pilot who later became a presenter for the BBC
