Last night I had the privilege to meet Commander Ken Wallis. For those who do not know the name he was the creator and pilot of Little Nellie in the Bond movie 'You Only Live Twice' but that is the least he has done in his life. The man still fly's but you know he has a good story to tell when he tells you he is not flying much at present due to a bad back he picked up after bailing out of a Wellington bomber in 1941 in fog and having a hard landing. He was one of the lucky ones who on a bombing mission with 52 aircraft, 37 didn't come back. I am looking forward to reading his book 'The Lives of Ken Wallis: Engineer and Aviator Extraordinaire'.
