It was announced today at the SETP European Symposium in Linkoping that an award is being funded by Grob Aerospace, in honour of Gerard Guillaumaud, and with the blessing of the SETP. It will be awarded annually at the European flight test symposium (the first of which will be this October in London, I'll post details in another thread) for the paper which makes the best contribution to flight test safety.
There was also a presentation (partly given by his fiance, Heidi) about the impressive life and achievements of Gerard, and about the accident. The basic facts are that the aircraft, which was a low-hours system test/demonstrator vehicle, broke up at about 250 knots during the start of a flypast. It appears to have been within Vmo, there was no evidence of manufacturing flaws or foreign object impact, and all flight data was unfortunately destroyed in the accident. Whilst they are continuing to investigate, it is likely that the cause of the accident may never be known.
