We're having a celebration of Cranfield's 70th anniversary:

As part of it I am interviewing Ralph Hooper, who was in the first class to graduate, and went on to design the Hawker P.1127/Harrier, and will be a guest of honour.

Should be a great day.

This sounds cool, wish I was in the country.

Nice to see Ralph again, it's 10 years since I interviewed him. Great chap, did his best to indulge my interest in some very obscure designs from a long time ago.
