I have in my collection a transcript of an interview with E C Gordon England made at his home on 22nd October 1974 when he was 84 years old. I have just become aware that an Audio recording of this interview exists, is anyone else aware of this?

Ian,

If you put the following into Google, I think you will find the recording that you are looking for.

Yes this is it Bryan thank you, although I am having trouble getting it to play properly. Perhaps one of our more computer savvy members can put up a link that works properly

I am looking forward to hearing this when I get home - thanks Ian and Bryan!

Bryan,

Thank you for putting up the link. I had found this 3 or 4 years ago but couldn't remember where. There are actually 2 .wav files. The entire transcript of the interview runs to 6 pages. The link you put up is to the first part of the interview which goes up to about 3/4 of the way down Page 4. The file I had saved previously is the second part of the interview which can be found at:

Thank you Marcus - very interesting indeed!

The first part is all about his Aviation experiences, love the bit where he goes for his first and record setting glider flight. Second part is where he talks more about motoring and the Austin connection.
