Vis à vis the G-BCUX incident, it was the wife and two daughters of Leslie 'Dick' Whittington (who was involved in the test flight programme of the Folland Midge/Gnat) who, along with three other pupils of St. Catherine's School, Bramley, died when the car in which they were travelling was hit when the H.S.125 slid across the A281 Horsham to Guildford road. Apparently he was in the tower when the accident occurred but wasn't, unsurprisingly, aware of who was involved - until later.
