Funny British People and the first Jet Engine |
|
Funny English people talking about when they saw the first Jet powered plane test flight. Made by Frank Wittle and capable of 1000 lbf (4 kN) of thrust, it was fitted to a Gloster E28/39 airframe specially built for it, and first flew on May 15, 1941 from RAF Cranwell. Exciting stuff, but I just thought the interviews were hilarious. "like a partridge" Heh!
