On the 24th November 1939, Flying Officer Neville Anthony Richard Doughty was flying Gladiator N5640 on searchlight co-operation duty when his engine stalled. He abandoned the aircraft while it was in a spin and parachuted safely over Denton Burn, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland. Research shows that he never applied to Irvin GQ Ltd for his Caterpillar badge!
