Re: Whitley test "produced a failure at 98% of the design load" is that good?

Thanks Juha

I have another article about AW Test Pilot Turner-Hughes, but did not know about Air Enthusiast No.9.

The other reference was also unknown to me.

Another photograph in December 1940 Flight shows all of the wing skin virtually stripped clean off a Whitley wing (due it claims) to A.A. fire? But the skin looks too cleanly ripped off to be A.A. fire!

My Grandfather was in one of the tail failure Whitleys, which force landed!

Thanks again, Mark
