Flight-Lieutenant George Hedley Stainforth, A.F.C., in 1929. After a dazzling career in the RAF, and as a civilian test pilot (testing, for example, the Airspeed Courier, the first airliner with a retractable undercarriage), he was killed in action in Egypt in 1942, as a Wing Commander, flying a Beaufighter.
