* This officer has displayed the greatest
enthusiasm for operational flying and dogged determination to overcome the
handicap of ill-health. In May 1943, as captain of aircraft, he was detailed
for an attack on Dortmund. While over the target area his aircraft was
illuminated by searchlights and badly damaged by anti-aircraft
fire. Nevertheless he continued to operate with undiminished ardour. Flying
Officer Margetts has consistently pressed home his attacks with resolution
and courage, setting a most praiseworthy example. |

* Since being awarded a Bar to the
Distinguished Flying Cross this officer has completed numerous sorties and has
continued to set the highest example of courage and devotion to duty. He is a
brilliant and fearless leader, whose iron determination in the face of the
fiercest opposition has won great praise. One night in February. 1944,
Squadron Leader Martin captained an aircraft detailed to attack a target in
Southern France. During the run up to the target his aircraft was repeatedly
hit. One member of the crew was killed and another one was wounded. Squadron
Leader Martin pressed home his attack, however, and afterwards flew the
damaged bomber to an airfield where he effected a masterly landing in
difficult circumstances. He displayed great skill and resolution throughout.

Squadron RAF
[Lancaster I, DV342 (UL-G2) took off from
R.A.F. Elsham Wolds, Lincolnshire at 16:27 hours on an operation to bomb Berlin.
Whilst flying over the district of Lichtenberg at an estimated height of 10,000
feet, it was seen to burst into flames and a minute or two later exploded. It
was shot down by Hauptmann Walter Borgers (1) of Stab III./NJG5 at 20.08 hrs at
Lichtenberg, some 10 km east north east of Berlin. Pieces of the aircraft fell
over a wide area. One of the engines fell in Ritterguts-Strafle, another fell in
Verbindungsweg. Two of the crew were found in the Bitterguts Strasse. Both
airmen wore their parachute harness, but there was no sign of the parachutes. A
local policeman, Herr. W. Borcher remembered that they were both dressed in
blue. He also stated that there was no sign of the other crew members adding
that he presumed that the aircraft had exploded in mid air. The two crew members
bodies were taken away the next day by a Lieutenant and six men to a central

* This officer has taken part in a
large number of sorties and has displayed a high standard of leadership and
skill throughout. His determination to press home his attacks has always, been
apparent and has won him much success. One evening in June, 1944, he played a
prominent part in an operation against a concentration of locomotives which
were attacked with good effect. This officer has at all times displayed
outstanding devotion to duty.
** In April, 1941, this pilot was detailed to
participate in an attack on a target at IJmuiden. In spite of intense
anti-aircraft opposition which forced his leader to take violent evasive action,
Sergeant McPhee kept close company with his leader so that both were successful
in bombing the target from a height of only 50 feet. On leaving the target area,
Sergeant McPhee was attacked by enemy fighters who followed him for a
considerable distance across the North Sea. Although his aircraft was damaged,
he succeeded in flying back to his base and landing safely. Sergeant McPhee has
carried out numerous operational missions and has displayed great courage and
determination throughout.

* Squadron Leader Meadows is a most keen and
conscientious flight commander who has set a fine example of efficiency to
the squadron. He has completed a large number of operational sorties by
night and day, many of which have been in bad weather over France, Belgium
and Germany. During these missions he has destroyed three enemy aircraft
(including two in one night). He has always displayed exemplary courage and
devotion to duty. [Destroyed two Ju.88s, 31 December 1944/1 January 1945 in
Mosquito MM706, and one Ju88 on the 29/28th July.] |

* As pilot and bomb aimer respectively,
Flight Sergeant Morris and Sergeant [Peter James] Hayward have undertaken
many sorties against targets in North Africa, Sardinia, Sicily and Italy.
They have displayed great skill and determination throughout and their many
successes have been well illustrated by photographic evidence. An excellent
team, these airmen have set a fine example of courage and devotion to duty.
[As published in London Gazette]
Flight Sergeant Morris has completed 28 operations since joining the
Squadron in March 1943, and has attacked targets in North Africa, Sardinia,
Sicily and Italy. His operations against the enemy have been carried out
with outstanding results as is borne out by the photographs he has taken
when bombing. On the night of 25-26 August 1943, Flight Sergeant Morris was
detailed to bomb the marshalling yards at the Italian port of Taranto. Under
intense light and heavy anti-aircraft fire, he attacked the target from
9,500 feet and dropped his bombs, scoring a direct hit in the yards and
starting many fires. Again, on the night of 28-29 August 1943, Flight
Sergeant Morris was detailed to locate and illuminate Taranto for the
attacking force of our bombers. He located the target under adverse weather
conditions and at 7,500 feet, in spite of heavy anti-aircraft fire, he
dropped his flares directly over the target area, thus enabling the bomber
force to make a successful attack. Again, his work is supported by
photographic evidence. Flight Sergeant Morris is an inspiration to other
members of the Squadron with his willingness, courage and devotion to duty.
