Cavalry, Dorsetshire Yeomanry, RFC and RAF during WWI; RAF Overseas 1925-33 (Sgt and F/O). prev exp 347 hrs Resigned from ATA 18 Jan 1943 d. 9 May 1946, Berkshire - Flight says "It is with regret that we record the death on May 9th, in a test-flying accident, of Mr. Llewellyn Oliver Moss. Mr. Moss, who was 51 years of age, was chief production test pilot of the Gloster Aircraft Company. After serving in the Dorsetshire Yeomanry in the first European war, he transferred to the R.F.C. and remained in the R.A.F. Reserve. At the outbreak of the second European war he was considered too old to fly with the R.A.F., and therefore joined the A.T.A. Later, he was in charge of the A.T.A. Brockworth pool, and, in view of his good work, was employed in 1942 by Glosters as production test pilot on the Typhoon contract. More recently Mr. Moss had been carrying out production tests on Meteors and had also helped with development work on this type." |
