Extracts from the 1 Wing Historical Narrative:
20 Aug 59 The Station Pipe Band played at a funeral parade for 223569 LAC AE Pittman who was killed in a T-33 accident on 17 Aug. LAC Pittman was flying with F/O Rice and during a test spin the pilot was unable to recover. The pilot successfully ejected at well below the minimum height. During investigation it appeared that LAC Pittman, although acknowledging the order to bail out, did not attempt to do so.
