* Flight Lieutenant Tappin who was appointed
flight commander in April, 1942, has participated in a number of hazardous
operations. He led his squadron in the first sortie during the combined
operations at Dieppe, on 19th August, 1942, and although his aircraft was
severely damaged, he returned to base safely. Flight Lieutenant Tappin led
the squadron in a further three sorties during these operations and' despite
the fierce enemy opposition he pressed home his attacks. He has displayed
courage and devotion to duty of a high standard.
** Since being awarded the D.F.C. this officer
has flown on many more operational sorties, during which he has destroyed
one six engine B.V.222 enemy flying boat and two enem.v aircraft. On one
occasion, when flying on patrol, Sqn. Ldr. Tappin intercepted and destroyed
an He. 177. In the consequent air combat his aircraft was hit by fire from
an enemy fighter and damaged. Nevertheless he pressed home another attack on
a Ju. 88 which was lost in cloud cover. At all times this officer has shown
a magnificent fighting spirit and grim determination, achieving his
successes by careful planning and execution of every sortie. |

near Oxford in September 1938. Flying Instructor's Course, November/December
1938 Started instructing 30th December 1938. School at Kidlington closed on
outbreak of hostilities, staff moved to 22 E.F.T.S. at Carpbridge. Instructed at
Cambridge until April 1941, when posted to 52 O.T.U. (Hurricane) at Debden.
52 OTU April/May 1941. Posted to 3 Squadron
(Hurricane) at Martlesham Heath 2nd June 1941, became Flight Commander in March
1942. Posted to 534 Squadron (Turbinlite) as Hurricane Flight Commander
September 1942. Tutbinlite Project abandoned February 1943,,posted to 157
Squadron (Mosquito) at Castle Camps. Became Flight Commander July 1943. Posted
from 157 at Predannack, March 1944 to 51 O.T.U. at Cranfield and Twinwood Farm,
near Bedford, as W/Cdr Flying. January 1945 posted to Mediterranean to command
108 Squadron (Beaufighter), to learn on arrival that the Squadron was to be
disbanded. I spent a short period with 334 (Special Duties) Wing at Brindisi, in
Southern Italy, and in March 1945 was posted to Command 256 Squadron (Mosquito)
with the Desert Air Force at Forli, iii-Northern Italy. In September 1945 the
Squadron moved to Egypt,, from where I returned home in December of that year.
In February 1946 1 returned to Cambridge to continue my work with Marshalls as a
civilian pilot, where the work was varied and interesting, covering
flying-instruction, charter work and test flying on a variety of aircraft,
including the Vampire, Venom, Canberra, Valiant, Viscount and Ambassador. I left
Cambridge in January 1961 to instruct at The College of Air Training at Hamble,
which had been set up by B.E.A. and B.O.A.C., (taking over the Air Service
Training facilities) to train new pilots from scratch, as the supply of
ex-service pilots was running short. It proved to be very successful. Retired
from Hamble January 1972. |

Sunderland
III G-AGIB of British Overseas Airways Corporation: The
flying boat operated on a service from Rod-el-Farag on the river Nile near
Cairo, Egypt, to Poole, U.K. via Djerba, Tunisia. It took off at 21:45 from
Rod-el-Farag and headed over eastern Libya towards Djerba. En route over the
desert a fire erupted behind the nr. 4 engine, possibly due to an electrical
fault in the flowmeter transmitter head terminal box. The fire caused a fuel
line to rupture. A violent fire ensued, weakening the wing structure. The pilot
likely tried to sidestep the plane in an attempt to blow out the fire. The wing
section outboard of the nr.4 engine then broke off, along with the starboard
float. The flying boat descended until it struck the desert. Crashed 109
miles SW of Sollum, and 40 miles NW of Giarabub. All were killed: nine crew and
ten passengers. |

pilot
instructor, 1507 Beam Approach Training Flight RAF
[Oxford I V4035 at Finningley airfield. On
28.09.1942 the crew of this aircraft were undertaking a training flight which
included practicing beam flying in the foggy conditions that were present on
this day. Taken off 08:25 hrs. As it approached Finningley airfield in the fog
(in weather that is described "marginal") it was flying low, following a track
250 yards to the left of the beam. The aircraft hit a tree and then stalled
while trying to avoid other obstacles in its path on the approach to land at
Finningley airfield at 09:35 hrs. Neither pilots were strapped in and both were
seriously injured and all three airmen were treated in Doncaster hospital for
their injuries but the two pilots (instructor pilot B.G. Tree and pupil pilot
Sgt. H.G.R. McCosker, RAAF) were so seriously injured that they died in the
hours that followed. Wireless operator/air gunner F/Sgt. E. Chamberlain duly
recovered from a broken left tibia and fibula. In an enquiry into the accident
the W/Cdr of 25 Operation Training Unit concluded : “There was no evidence to
prove that any technical failure occurred in the main transmitter or the
receiving set in the aircraft. Eye witnesses are of the opinion that the
approach of the aircraft was too low. The faulty approach must be attributed to
an error on the part of the Instructor PO Tree. He was known to be a steady and
reliable pilot but it is possible that his experience on the beam had been
gained by concentrated flying in a comparatively space of time, and this may
have produced a feeling of over confidence. It was likely that the two pilots
would not have sustained fatal injuries, had they been strapped in.” As a
consequence of this accident, it was recommended that the beam be moved away
from the NE boundary of the airfield and in the meanwhile, in poor weather, a
line of sodium flares should be lit to alert pilots of the present dangers.] |
