Data derived from many sources. Corrections/Additions welcomed via Helpdesk

NOTE ON DATES: IMPORTANT: For consistency, the Date is given as the date the mission TOOK OFF since the precise time of a loss is not always certain. Take Off date is unambigous and fixed in the official records, but obviously in those cases where the incident occurred before midnight UK time, then the Take Off Date will be the same as the Incident Date. Of course, most Bomber Command missions flew through midnight, therefore a Luftwaffe claim against a plane - or a locally generated crash report - may record the incident as occurring on the day following our Take Off Date. Bear this in mind when cross-referencing to our Luftwaffe Victories by Name/Date Database and other Luftwaffe sources. In some cases other sources may quote the date following our date, using locally generated reports as their source. To add to the potential for confusion, remember to take into account a Luftwaffe recorded date will be in local time, 1 hour ahead of UK time. When we discover a validated Incident Date we change our record if necessary.

Died 4 November 1974				Alfred Street School and Newton Road Schoo. Scholarship to Wellingborough Grammar. Hobby shooting. RAF Cadet at Cranwell in 1937. His initial course was shortened and he left the college and joined the British Expeditionary Force leaving France just before the fall of Dunkirk. Rejoined the RAF and became a Pilot Officer and then a Flight Lieutenant in December 1941. DFC in 1942 for his work in the PRU. Citation: 'Having taken part in many operational sorties and several long reconnaissances over Germany and German-occupied territory, often in adverse weather and with fierce enemy opposition, F/Lt Robinson possesses ability and keenness which are a great inspiration to his fellow pilots.' Russian Order of the Patriotic War (First Class) for operations from Russia against the battleship Tirpitz in Altafjord, Norway ahead of the Operation Source attack by midget submarines in September 1943. On Sunday press and radio announced that Premier Stalin had decorated three British Spitfire pilots who, braving flak, enemy planes, rugged mountains and treacherous weather, had kept watch on the German battleship Tirpitz lurking inside Alten Fiord in Northern Norway, and the Scharnhorst, which was just outside. Each pilot made eight to ten trips over the fiord, and the photographs they took played a big part in our successful midget submarine attack on the Tirpitz. They carried out their vigil from a base in North Russia, to which they flew separately from Britain in five hours on September 5th of last year, the ground staff having gone ahead by sea. None of the three planes was ever hit. Later the news came through that the midget submarines had attacked the battleship. The two other officers, who both receive the award of the Distinguished Battle Service Medal, are Flight Lieuts. B. R. Kenwright, of London, and J. H. Dixon, of Queensland, Australia. 130 daylight operations with 1 PRU, 3 PRU and 543 Sqn. He survived the war. Post-war 17Sqn, School of Land Air Warfare - Old Sarum. 608Sqn

Died on 1st March 2000.		Portrait by Eric Kennington		Battle of Britain. Ace Pilot Officer October 1939. Cambridge University Air Squadron, selected for an Army Co-Operation course as a pilot officer. Late May 1940 the chief instructor announced that he had 'a severe disappointment' to communicate: 'Gentlemen,' he said, 'you are to be transferred immediately to fighters'. Joined No 603 (City of Edinburgh) Squadron at Hornchurch, Essex in early October 1940 as a replacement Spitfire pilot during the early stage of the Battle of Britain over the South-East. The squadron had been much depleted by losses that summer as was only too apparent in an action over Kent on October 12th. 'Eight aircraft were directed into a large gaggle of Me109 fighters, we split up individually and passed head-on through the enemy formation. There was a sense of shock as a distant series of silhouettes suddenly became rough metal with grey-green paint and yellow noses, passing head-on on either side. At the far end I had a few minutes dog fight with the last 109, scoring hits leaving a trail of black smoke. Then we were alone at 20,000 feet, the German gliding down with an engine which coughed and barely turned over, I with very little ammunition and very little petrol. He glided towards the Channel. I looked for an airfield before my petrol ran out. Strangely, I felt inclined to wave to him as I left. But then I was only 20'. 5 confirmed and as many as seven probables. June 1940 posted to fly Spitfires with 611Sqn (West Lancashire) at Digby, Lincolnshire before being transferred to 603 (City of Edinburgh)Sqn at Hornchurch in early October. 1941 flew offensive sweeps with 603 over northern France. Promoted to flight commander and in September CO 54Sqn. Bearing the initials S-M below the cockpit and the legend 'Bahrain', Spitfire W3632 was a gift from the people of Bahrain, who had raised £15,000 to purchase the Spitfire. Moving in November to headquarters 14 Group in Scotland, Scott-Malden had the task of helping to bring to operational readiness the first Free Norwegian fighter squadrons, with pilots who had escaped from Norway. When they were ready Scott-Malden was appointed, in March 1942, to command the Norwegian Fighter Wing of three squadrons at North Weald in Essex. In the summer, the wing built a magnificent reputation and covered itself in glory during the disastrous Dieppe raid of August 20. Operating from the Kent coastal airfield at Manston, Scott-Malden led Nos 242, 331 and 332 squadrons in three separate sorties on the day, seeking, against great odds, to protect the mostly Canadian troops as they attempted to land and then to withdraw. DSO in 1942 and was also decorated by King Haakon of Norway with the Norwegian War Cross, lunching with the King afterwards at Claridges. In New Year 1944, in preparation During the run for the Normandy invasion, in 1944 joined a mobile group control unit on Goodwood racecourse. After D-Day June 6, the unit moved to Normandy to control fighter support. During the summer of 1944 Scott-Malden was promoted acting group captain and given command of No 125, a Spitfire wing covering the Allied forces as they advanced through North-West Europe from nine different points. Scott-Malden took a permanent commission with the RAF and took a number staff and command appointments, one of which was to assist with plans for the Suez campaign of 1956. Scott-Malden final tally of victories stood at 3 confirmed destroyed with two shared, five probables and 12 damaged with another one shared. Air Vice marshal in 1965. and left the RAF in 1966 taking a administrator position with the Ministry of Transport and in 1978 retiring to Norfolk . Citation DFC:. Acting Flight Lieutenant ...This officer has been continuously engaged in operational flying since June, 1940, leading his flight and sometimes the squadron. During the last six weeks, he has taken part in 38 offensive operations over enemy territory. A fine leader, Flight Lieutenant Scott-Maiden has at all times displayed great keenness and determination in his engagements with the enemy. He has destroyed three and damaged many of their aircraft. Citation Bar to DFC: Acting Wing Commander.... This officer has led the wing on 44 sorties over Northern France. During these operations 6 enemy aircraft were destroyed 1 of which was shot down by Wing Commander Scott-Maiden himself. On 2 occasions, in April, this officer displayed great skill when his force was attacked by superior numbers of enemy aircraft. Throughout, he has displayed great courage and leadership. Citation DSO:.... During the past 6 months, this officer has led his wing on a large number of sorties. In this period, the wing has destroyed 49 enemy aircraft and probably destroyed and damaged many others. During the combined operations at Dieppe on the 19th August, 1942, the wing completed a large number of sorties; 21 enemy aircraft were destroyed, and many others damaged. Wing Commander Scott-Malden led the wing on 3 of these sorties. The splendid success achieved on this and other occasions is largely attributable to the magnificent leadership displayed by Wing Commander Scott-Maiden. He is a brilliant pilot and a fine tactician, whose thorough knowledge and personal example have proved worthy of the highest praise.	Battle of Britain Database

Throughout the first four months of 1941 Shayler took part in over 30 sorties- targets included Bremen, Hamburg, Gelsenkirchen, Cologne, and various shipping off the Dutch and German coasts. On 26 April 1941 Shayler and his crew attacked an aerodrome West of Sund, Norway. 5 Me.110’s were caught taking off. Shayler’s aircraft destroyed one by bombing and machine gunned another aircraft. Joined by another R.A.F. aircraft they then proceeded to have a 16 minute air battle with the 3 remaining Me.110s, in an action that saw Shayler’s skipper, Flight Lieutenant R. E. Tallis, awarded the D.F.C. Shayler was killed in action when Blenheim V6451, piloted by Flight Lieutenant R. E. Tallis, D.F.C., was lost without trace whilst on an anti-shipping patrol off the Norwegian coast, on 29 April 1941. Tallis’ body was later washed up and he is buried in a Norwegian cemetery, but Shayler’s body, and that of the other crew member, were never recovered. Shayler is commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial. His medals were sent to his father, E. C. Shayler.11 Northern Avenue, Polegate, Sussex
