The Flight Test Division at Burtonwood did, what its name suggests, perform all the test flights of all aircraft produced at the base, prior to delivery to their respective unit.
I am lucky to have known the Commander, Col Walter W ‘Dewey’ Ott, personally, and many of the guys who served under him. Collectively they gave me first hand memories and information about the flight and how it operated and the different types they flew – all types. They also had a very close relationship with air traffic control and the Alert and Readiness Flight who were responsible for all visiting aircraft. Between them they have given me hundreds of photos and I will use these, and their memories, to illustrate they intense work, and also their leisure time.
