I read in a Pilot mag many years ago about spinning the more popular term for "Parkes Dive" which takes its name from one Lt Parkes RFC who whilst flying over the airfield at Larkhill on Salisbury Plain inadvertantly entered a spin. He was not the first to find himself in this situation nor the first to recover from it, but he was the first to know how he managed to recover and it is that recovery action that we perform today.
Can anyone throw some more light on this individual and his career please?
Many thanks
