Query for the vast store of aviation knowledge and history that is the cornerstone of this forum.
Looking for information, bio, what-have-you on Michael Rundrup. I know he was Napier's Test Pilot and flew the record making high altitude flight in the Double Scorpion Canberra (WK163), also that he was the Test Pilot for the first flight of the
PR.9 mark (a modifed
PR.7), but can find little else about him.
Can anyone shed some light on his career? For example, was he involved in a Mosquito crash at Farnborough in 1944? I was asked this a few days ago but can find nothing about him except the gen in my Canberra books.
Thanks in advance.
