  1. Great idea. I had not heard of this guy until your post. It turns out he was on Shift #1 as Flight Director on Apollo 13. Obviously an unsung hero. Would love to meet him.
  2. Not sure how much we spent but I was refused a mortgage on a second jacket potato at the restaurant and had to settle for one. :Hee Hee!
  3. How about one, some or all of the below? Gene Kranz Glynn Lunney Gerry Griffin Chris Kraft
  4. How about a Professionals Reunion with Bodie and Doyle!
  5. Mercury, Gemini & Apollo Astronaut Walter M. Schirra as died at the age of 84. Go to http://www.nasa.gov/vision/space/features/...er_schirra.html for more information.
  6. Well done Dave & Garry. Best Autographica yet. We arrived on Saturday about 8.30am and had no problems parking. After collecting our Gold Passes and VQ Tickets. There was just a short wait till the 'doors' opened. We met Bruce McCandless first (who was the main reson we was going) and then the rest of the astronauts & cosmosnaut including Jim Lovell and Fred Haise. It was also a real pleasure to meet the two RAF pilots George 'Johnny' Johnson & Eric 'Winkle' Brown who were very polite and friendly as indeed was everyone including the other collectors which we met. 'Johnny' Johnson took the time to show and name all the crew of his Lancaster and went on to explain how Peter Jackson the film director might feature the Sorpe Dam in his new Dambusters film next as the orignal film did not. The room downstairs which was opened up for light snacks was also very welcome. OK, not the best sandwiches in the world but very reasonable we did not wan't to risk the well known fast food restaurant nearby as in past years we had eaten there and had dodgy stomachs afterwards! All in all it was a great day. Can't fault it. Well done all involved!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  7. That's great can't wait!!!!! P.S. Sorry to be pedantic but it's 'Concorde' not 'Concord' (Well according to Tony Benn and the French anyway!)
  8. Hi Dave, any news on the prices for : SEYMOUR "SY" LIEBERGOT COL. ANATOLI ARTSEBARSKY LT. SALIZHAN SHARIPOV CAPT. BRUCE McCANDLESS BRIAN MURPHY Many Thanks
  9. I'm going! I have a Gold Pass as this looks like it will be the best one ever. The opportunity to meet such important people in history is fantastic and doesn't come around too often! Well done Dave & Garry thanks for all your hard work.
  10. Look out for a documentary called 'Flight Fantastic' on Discovery Wings (Sky 524). It is about supersonic aircraft and breaking the sound barrier and has an interview with Capt. Eric Brown.
  11. Just noticed this provisional announcement for Autographica on another site. Bruce McCandless (STS-41B, STS-31)
  12. Great Guest! How about Fred Haise, Frank Borman or Bill Anders? (P.S. Capt. Jim Lovell was Backup for Geminis 4 & 9)
