(with
thanks to Owen Vaughan - "My
research suggests Commander Brown was

Hermes as a Naval Test Pilot (one of
three) at the time of his death. He died
during a test
launch from Hermes.". Confirmed by Don
Kindell - flying Buccaneer XK 529 to
Hermes 31 August 1961 for carrier
trials. Boundary layer control failed on
catapult launch, assumed high nose-up
attitude, stalled, crashed in Lyme Bay,
500 yards ahead of ship. Brown and
Mr. T. D. Dunn were both killed.
Wreckage transported to Fleetlands Test
Flight Hanger at Lee-on-Solent.)
