Re: Frank Whittle Commemorated With Set of Stamps
Whittle was an egotistical man. He may have achieved more had he not been so.
However, the UK government sold his ideas out to foreign powers when we should've kept them to ourselves. As always, our politicians were stupid and short-sighted, and we paid the price!
