    This may not be so far fetched. I refer to a letter in the “Sunday Times” last week end.(recognized as the top quality newspaper in the UK). The Airborne Forces Experimental Establishment got a jeep to fly in 1994, towed first by a supercharged Bentley, and then fully airborne behind a Whitley bomber. The father of the chap writing this letter said that his father was the photographer at the top secret trials.

    Reg Manning was a long time Arizona resident and designed the current hat badge for the Arizona Highway Patrol.
