Thanks. I was put off the scent becasue I've never heard of the RN ever
showing interest in the P-39, far less trying it out on a carrier.

Then again, it's Eric Brown we're talking about and he seems to have tried
out just about everything on a carrier.

In your BBC link he is called Captain Winkle Brown, and appears to be
in RAF uniform. Is this the Eric Brown you refer to?

Presumably his alleged rank is a BBC error.
