Munich Branch: What does a test pilot actually do?
Reflecting on a career as a military test pilot at the UK MoD test centre Boscombe Down, Laurie Hilditch will examine what makes a test pilot and illustrates the diverse flying and ground activities experienced during his career. This covers testing a foreign fighter at short notice to contributing to the design and development of the Eurofighter Typhoon, clearing new weapons onto the Tornado and even simulating chemical attacks during training exercises for the Army and Navy.
