Come to think of it, almost every picture I ever saw of Turner with
Gilmore, he was smiling :-))
Those guys were like rock stars back then.
I think he had to give Gilmore to a zoo when he got to be to big to manage.

I remember reading something to that effect I think, way back in the
stone age someplace. Ole' Roscoe must have been quite a fellow.
Those early pilots really had what it took. Flying some of those old
crates was taking your life in you hands even before you made it to
pattern altitude.
I think it was Andy Sephton, check pilot for the Shuttleworth collection
who said he considers the Bleriot monoplane one of the trickist
airplanes he has ever flown.
