British test pilot Geoffrey de Havilland Jr. was killed while testing an experimental jet-powered aircraft, dubbed the “Swallow,” in preparation for an attempt to break the mythical sound barrier. The aircraft completely disintegrated during a high-speed dive. De Havilland’s body washed up in the Thames River 10 days later.
The intentions were that De Havilland would do a shallow dive from 10,000 feet up to Mach 0.87, followed by a level speed test up to 650 mph. At 17:39 the aircraft was seen a few miles North East of Gravesend travelling towards Cliffe, and what a sight it must have been to onlookers: a futuristic design, glinting in the sunlight with the roar of its 3,300 lb thrust turbo-engine.
