I ask because I would like to find this episode on my digi-box and post it here, or maybe find on online link to it. I think it would be good for the members to actually see the just how a Brooks saddle is manufactured, to realise the care and and quality.. and common sense that used. As a cyclist I was awestruck as I watched.

On a hot, still morning she took off from Tunisia to bomb the southern tip of Italy. An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.
