Hermes Aircraft Disaster Ends Test Flight Tragedy
Britain’s Handley Page Hermes test flight near Radlett Hertfordshire ends in multiple fatalities including test pilot R Holestar and technician Wright. The four engine airliner, designed for civil aviation and air mail, crashed after a failed attempt to regain control, scattering wreckage and claiming several lives. Talbot, a famed British test pilot, had previously flown the Halltex bomber in 1942. The accident, seen as a double blow to British aviation, halts development of the Hermes and impacts plans for a larger civil aircraft program.
