Fuller > Hello Margaret & Co, With regards to Walter Hinchliffe, it was "The Airman Who Would Not Die" that brought him to my attention. I must admit if it had not been for a local member urging me to read a paper back copy he brought along to a meeting some years back, I may never have. I also recommend John Fuller's book to members. "Above The Trenches" mentions Hinchliffe's life had been the subject of a film based on the book, "The Ghost Of Flight 401" but I have seen neither so cannot comment. Thank you 'Capt Bigglesworth' for the write-ups of Hinchliffe in both peace and war. Keep up the interesting items, it would be a long winter without having this site to look into. Regards John B. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Feb 2003 08:32:03 +0000 From: "Captain Bigglesworth" To: cci@mustang.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Hinchliffe Message-ID: Hi Nick, I too was inspired to 'find out more' after pivking up a second hand copy of John Fuller's book 'The Airmen who would not Die' in Manchester several years ago one lunchtime. It had some decent pctures of R101 in it! Thee are no photos of Hinchlife in the book, the only one I have seen is rather a poor reproduction of him with Elsie MacKay, prior to their ill fated Atlantic Crossing, this was in a book, the title of which was something like 'Between the Wars - A Photographic History' - it was a reproduction of a Daily Express book of the period - and the modern version appeared in County Bookshops and similar remainder bookshops a couple of years back. Although I have not followed it it, I expect that there would probably be some decent illustations in 'Illustrated London News' of the time - or Flight / Aeroplane. I have no copies of these for 1928 - possibly come of the discussion group may have I have a few more notes about Hinch, including the name of his dog! He had two daughters, who are mentioned in John Fuller's book ... now if we could find them I am sure they would have some photos I would be a most interesting story to see in print Cheers for now, more research to plough on with David J Barnes >From: Nick Forder >Reply-To: cci@mustang.sr.unh.edu >To: Multiple recipients of list >Subject: [CCI] Hinchliffe >Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2003 04:06:27 -0500 (EST) > >David > >Thanks for this.
