Eric Brown and the risks of ferrying captured aircraft

An audience account recalls Eric Brown and colleagues ferrying Arado jets from Germany to Britain without knowing how much of their engines' quoted 25-hour life remained. Their willingness to undertake those flights prompts praise for their courage. A separate recollection concerns Brown's recovery of a Komet rocket aircraft. That recollection is explicitly uncertain: it suggests a flight to British lines followed by transport, rather than a flight all the way to Britain.
