There is a statue in his honour at the entrance to Edinburgh Airport

There should be one at Farnborough and Boscombe Down too.

I do like that the image of the video shows the He 162, which Brown was actually quite complementary.  Yes it had limitations and issues (including a tragic failure in RAF hands), but it is very interesting to glean his insights instead of many of the oft repeated tropes about certain types.  Much respect.
