[WWI] Estimating colour from black and white photographs

[Douglas Anderson]

That reminds me of a story about South Africas own John Harold Goodman. A full 25 years before the famous Otto Lillienthal flew, John built and flew a glider from a cliff in KwazuluNatal, South Africa. On his second flight he managed to break his leg. His mother then persuaded him to stop for 'fear of incurring the wrath of God, for challenging their natural state of being Earthbound'.
  I once new this girl who thought that human nudity was horrible. I suppose her thinking would be that if God had intended us to be naked we wouldn't have be born with clothes on.

If I might make so bold Mister Possumpit... er Mr Poissonpo... err Mister
Postpakper... err ...Mister Diego, you wouldn't catch me up in one of them
blessed balloons Sir. Reminds me of Sir Roderick in Poona in '02. Nasty
business Sir, nasty... And if I may pass comment Mister Diego, if God wanted
us to fly around the world Sir, 'ee didnt intend us to use no balloon. After
all That's why the Good Lord he invented the HP-42 Sir, to fly around the
world in..... Ice, Mister Diego?

Sniff... Mister Diego, might you have fallen on hard times Sir? After all,
you a gentlemen's gentleman?

Regards

Parker.
