MARTINDALE, A.F.C.,R.A.F.V.R.-This officer has been en- gaged as a test pilot in diving aircraftat high speeds. In the course of one such dive his aircraft had exceeded a*peed of 600 m.p.h. when, it-caught fire. Realising that he was over the outskirtsel a, large town, Sqn. Ldr. Martindale remained at the controls and headed foropen country. - The fire died down and hr. .leaded to try to reach base althoughflames still came into the aircraft. Dense .•load obscured the base airfield and Sqn.Ldr. Martindale was compelled to attempt a forced ianding in a field.When making the approach to land, oil ever his windscreen prevented this officerIrom seeing high-tension cables directly in his path until he was almost on them.He had no alternative but to crash in' a wood The aircraft burst into flames,bn:, Sqn. Ldr. Martindale was able to get clear. After removing his parachutelie returned to the burning aircraft, re- trieved the recording apparatus, andalthough injured in the spine, kept on- lookers clear until the local fire brigadear.Mved. This officer's courage in remain- ing at the controls undoubtedly savedlives and damage to property, whilst his bravery in returning to his aircraft madeavailable data recorded on this test.
