this is just a review from a book i did own regarding a beufighter. in scotland, that was to be tested out.
in 1942 a pilot was to test a beu out but felt unwell, well a other pilot test flyer came down from the tower and said whats up. the pilot said he was to take that beu up but was not well , the other pilot said ok ill do it.......tea can wait.
then he put on his gear then started up the plane then went, later on 3 to 4 hours past the pilots were a bit concerned by him not arriving, they looked on the hangers top to see if any fires were seen nothin" THAT WAS THE LAST ANYBODY HEARD FROM HIM EVER AGAIN, his push bike was still there were he parked it.when leaving. he was never seen again ,
well it was near the coast..
