On this Day 1901 Boffins at Lutons Advanced Research Projects Agency (LARPA) based at the #RAFLuton Broom Lake test facility put the finishing touches to the first B2 stealth fighter, test pilot Sqn Ldr Terry "Crasher" Teste-Dummie made the first test flight 2hrs later. #AvGeekpic.twitter.com/oL4vNsUklW
