One heck of a record by any account. He served with honor.

One of the finest from the RAF's "finest hour."
His rise from the son of a coal miner and product of a local grammar school who rose to the rank of Wing Commander would be an amazing story in and of itself.
However, to be a multiple ace and literally stand like Horatio at the bridge and keep Britain and democracy safe from its then greatest peril is truly the stuff from which legends are created.

Rest in peace, Wing Commander, thank you for your service to King and country.
