Description
Experimental Test Pilot: My Ten Years at MoD Boscombe Down is the story of Chris Taylor's remarkable career as an experimental test pilot. From 1994 to 2004, he was part of an elite group of pilots who pushed the boundaries of military aircraft testing and evaluation. Taylor recounts his journey from being selected for the Empire Test Pilots' School to completing a demanding twelve-month course, where he worked with scientists on cutting-edge technologies. He flew some of the UK's most advanced rotorcraft, including the Westland Wessex, Lynx, and Sea King, and played a key role in conventional 'release to service' activities. This book offers a unique insight into the world of military aviation testing and evaluation, and provides a fascinating account of one man's passion for flying and his dedication to his craft.
