Llewellyn Oliver Moss 1985-1946
Llewellyn Oliver Moss was chief production test pilot of the Gloster Aircraft Company.
After serving in the Dorsetshire Yeomanry in WW1, 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. He also carried out production tests on Meteors and had also helped with development work on this type. He was killed in a test flying accident on 9th May 1946.
