Prevent the export abroad of Eric 'winkle' Browns medals.
Britain's greatest test pilot, he flew a record 487 types of aircraft, developed naval deck landing at sea, interrogated top nazis at Nuremberg, worked on the design of Britain's latest Aircraft carrier.
Winkle Brown was a major part in pioneering air flight development, taking unflyable aircraft to the point of destruction and then upon landing advising how to cure the fault,always with 100%
Brown even flew the V1 and V2 rockets to evaluate them for the allies,This chap should have more of a memorial from the country than having his medals sold off.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The sale of these medals was the responsibility of Eric Brown's family. The medals have been bought by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Museum:
