Jeff quill told the tale of doing spinning trials on the Wellesley from Weighbridge.
Over the Kingston bypass he got one spinning that then flattened out into a stable flat spin. no controll or power input would retrieve the situation so he reluctantly bailed out.There then followed a tense minute as the slowly spinning Wellesley caught up with the parachute suspended test pilot, passed him at uncomfortably close quarters and then proceeded down to embed itself in the roof of a newly built semi on the bypass.
In the 1950’s he was doing a thing at the BBC when a young woman introduced herself. She said they had nearly met before.Jeff’s Wellesley had imbedded itself in the roof of her pregnant mothers house, the shock causing the young woman to arrive in the world a little early.
