V9977 was an Handley Page Halifax II that had been sent to the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) at RAF Defford to be used as a flying testbed for the H2S radar. On the afternoon of 7 June 1942, one of its Rolls-Royce Merlin engines caught fire and led to the aircraft crashing near the England-Wales border, killing all eleven crew-members. Among the dead was Alan Blumlein of EMI, who was well known as the inventor of stereophonic sound recording and the 405-line television system used in the UK until 1985.

  • Катастрофа бомбардировщика «Галифакс» с заводским номером V9977 произошла в долине реки Уай между 16:20 и 16:30 7 июня 1942 года. Самолёт Королевских ВВС, переоборудованный в летающую лабораторию по испытанию и отладке новейших бортовых радиолокационных станций, загорелся в полёте, разрушился в воздухе и рухнул на землю близ деревни Уэлш-Бикнор. Погибли все находившиеся на борту: экипаж из пяти человек и шесть инженеров — разработчиков РЛС. Среди погибших был ведущий конструктор компании EMI, отвечавший за запуск в серийное производство первой РЛС обзора земной поверхности Алан Блюмлейн — крупнейший британский схемотехник своего времени, разработчик системы стереофонической грамзаписи и британской национальной системы телевидения.
