Wounded on 1940-09-15 at 15:30hrs. He was shot down in his Hurricane I (V6625) over Shell Haven, Essex by a Bf 109.Retired Feb 1959 as Wing Commander 2010 Born Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, 7 June 1916 “Butch” Barton joined the Royal Air Force at age 19, travelling to England to take a short service commission. He started his career before the war on biplane fighters with 41 Squadron. With the outbreak of the war, Barton joined 249 Squadron flying Hurricanes at RAF Boscombe Down. He became a flight commander with 249 during the Battle of Britain, once bailing from his Hurricane after it was hit from return fire from a Dornier Do 17 bomber. By the end of the Battle of Britain, he was awarded a DFC for his “outstanding leadership”. With 249 Squadron, he also took part on the air war over Malta, adding to the total of his victories. Under Barton’s leadership, 249 Squadron became one of the most respected and lethal units on Malta and in the RAF. By war’s end he was a Wing Commander with 14 victories to his credit. The Battle of Britain London Monument web page says this about Barton: “During his career he had always tried to maintain the highest standards of chivalry, once severely reprimanding an inexperienced colleague who had finished off a damaged German aircraft, killing the pilot as he was attempting to crash-land over England... “Butch” Barton died on 2nd September 2010. His ashes were scattered on his favourite lake in British Columbia on the morning of 15th September, Battle of Britain Day.” | Allied Losses Database Battle of Britain Database |

Although PO Cummings had taken the Westland Wallace biplane on the correct route along the Dyce to Evanton leg of the journey, he was too low and, due to poor visibility, was unable to successfully clear Bennachie. The two men, who were the sole occupants of the aircraft, crashed into the hill’s Bruntwood Tap summit and died. Their bodies were found still strapped into their seats. Some of the wreckage of the Wallace remains on the hill to this day, left in honour of their bravery.He and his air gunner, LAC Ronald Stewart, were killed instantly — the second and third Allied servicemen to die in the war. Cummings was the first Canadian to die in the war, and his mother Edith would be the first of more than 45,000 Canadian mothers to suffer the loss of a child to the war in the next five years.

Deceased on 9 January 1991 (Information courtesy Francois Dutil) L/G. 19th March 1943: This officer has flown on a number of rescue sorties over the 'Straits of Dover and the Channel and has been instrumental in rescuing 7 survivors from crashed planes. In December 1942, when off. Dungeness he was"attacked by a Focke Wulf 190 but although his aircraft was damaged, he successfully evaded the attacker and landed safely at base. On another occasion, he persevered with a search despite heavy fire from the German ground defences. In Feb- ruary, 1943, he flew within 5 miles of Le Treport, brought his aircraft down onto the sea and rescued a Canadian pilot who had been shot down 3 hours previously. The visibility was deteriorating fast but he succeeded in a rescue which typified the skill, courage and resourcefulness invariably exhibited by this officer. | ![]() (Photo: Spence in front of a 277Sqn ASR Bouton-Paul Defiant) RCAFA Awards database |
