There are many unsung heroes in aerospace. I gave a lecture to the RAeS a few years back on Avro's Weapons Research Division at Woodford. I was explaining how the Blue Steel was a technological miracle for its time and those that had worked on it deserved better recognition. There was an old bloke weeping at the front. Not due to my crap delivery, but he'd worked on Blue Steel, had had fifty years of being told it was crap and now, because somebody had bothered to look into the machine's background and development, was being lauded for its technological place in UK aerospace history. I was rather touched.Chris
