RE: Flight Lieutenant Campbell, 609 (WR) Sqn.

Flight Lieutenant William Sanderman Campbell aged 33 was killed on 22 April 1956 in Meteor F8 WE895 while with 609 Sqn 4 miles south west of Selby

The aircraft was 1 of 4 in a section flying in line abreast at 35,000 ft. The leader ordered a half roll to starboard and a pull through but on completion at 24,000 ft No. 4 was found missing.

At some stage it is believed the pilot lost control ane ejected. However the face blind blew back over the top of seat and prevented the drogue chut from deploying correctly. Although pilot attempted manual release from the seat, he did not operate mechanism correctly and was killed on impact with the ground

He has set up a yahoo group called airforcedeaths:
