Ex Westlands CTP RIP

I heard some sad news today

Trevor Egginton has passed away after a heart attack.

You may remember him as the Chief Test Pilot of Westland Helicopters who Piloted G-LYNX to the world speed record in 1986 and Captained the first flight of the EH101 in 1987

Trevor was an Ex RAF pilot who flew (amongst other types), F86 Sabres before moving on to helicopters. He was heavily involved in Sea King and Lynx development in Yeovil.

Further information to follow
