John Derry & Tony Richards
Just watched a recording on BBC4 about When Britain Ruled The Skies. Some amazing footage of a fantastic period in British aviation history. It showed the accident of the DH110 at Farnborough following a high-speed run.
Test pilot John Derry and his flight test observer Tony Richards were both killed when their aircraft broke up. Tragically 29 spectators also lost their lives. Exactly 60 years ago today.
