Excellent! Thanks for posting it Tony. I love the fact that to 'get things done' all it took was a phone call or a dinner with the right person. Goodness knows, we could do with a bit of that right now...
I found it doubly interesting because only a couple of weeks ago I was fortunate enough to attend a lecture by Ian Whittle, the son of Sir Frank Whittle. He was talking about the development of the jet engine as done by his father, as well as many other engineers around the world, and he told us how important Hooker had been to the success of Sir Frank's design.
