Well it’s February already and the girls in the office are getting a BIT soppy and pathetic about Valentines Day so it seems appropriate in a way that ‘romantic’ novelist Jane Austen is the second person to feature in our series of remarkable Britons.

You’d have to go a long way to find a more remarkable Brit than Eric “Winkle” Brown. Extraordinary Eric, from Leith near Edinburgh, holds the world record for flying the most different aircraft (487), and for the most aircraft carrier landings (2407). He also made the very first carrier landing of a twin-engined plane AND the world's first carrier landing and take off of a jet powered plane. Eric’s story fascinates me, because my own Dad launched jets from Royal Navy aircraft carriers, and when he later went on to get a pilots licence, we enjoyed many enjoyable (and sometimes scary) hours in the air with him!

British beaches so aren't about sunbathing - our weather is just all too predictable (almost always cloudy!), and even on a sunny day it takes a man of steel to venture into the sea (with the possible exception of the South Coast!).
