I have been guided to Geoffrey Dorman “British test pilots” (1950)
http://catalogue.bl.uk/F/?func=full-set-set&set_number=162477&set_entry=000001&format=999

which allegedly holds information on S/L Michael Randrup, cf.
http://www.danishww2pilots.dk/profiles.php?alpha=r&id=76

Somebody out there who knows this volume ? And, perhaps would be able to tell me the extent of this information? It would be published 7 years earlier than the altitude record.

Mikkel,

There is a short chapter in the book on Michael Randrup occupying 3 1/2 pages (pp129-132). The account includes quotes from him to the author.

Thanks Errol, then it is worth ordering from the library (since it is not at any Danish libraries, it need to be ordered from a library abroad, e.g. with a fee). But this would be the most thorough description that I have come across.

Mikkel,

If you wish you could send me a pm with your postal address for me to send you a photocopy of the relevant pages, unless someone else with access to the book and a scanner can oblige meanwhile. Probably more economical than a library fee and postage.
