Title

Wot! No airspeed - George B Thomson

Description

George gives an account of having to do an air test on their aircraft, which had been flown on operations by another crew, but that when bomb the bay was opened after return, all bombs were present. He provides a detailed description of their test flight with ATC cadets on board, and discovery of no airspeed due to the pitot head cover not being removed.
