McLaren M8’s, Shadows, Autocoast Ti22…

On October 1st 1943 Arado 234 V2 (the second prototype) crashed on it’s fifth test flight after an engine fire. The pilot, Flight Captain Selle was killed.

Distiller’s 262 crash predates that, so looks like no prize. 🙂

people who take their lives in such a manner, are weak. 🙁 Anna 🙁

I think that’s no. 2 in the cliche list, no. 1 being “why can’t they just pull themselves together”. 🙁

great if they put her in RAF colours

No!
Imperial Airways!

Maybe someone who’s heard the Hendon a/c running when it was at St. Athan can tell us how they compare.

Sometimes it’s a chemical thing

I was there some years ago, and I guess you have been too, but I never managed to explain it to others so well.
The treatments can be simple and very effective, it’s a tragedy if lives are lost for lack of it.

Suicide is an act of extreme violence against all those left behind as well, and I hope support is available to Geforce and everyone else affected by this sad event.

Are you going to put down your glass and enlighten us? 🙂

My honour

As has been posted here before, you can sponsor the name of a Battle of Britain pilot on the new memorial to be built in London:

I asked to sponsor any one of the remaining names, and received my certificate today. By chance I have the honour to sponsor the name of

Pilot Officer Francois X. E. de Spirlet
No. 87 Squadron

If you haven’t done so already, do follow the link and give it some thought.
