 Another pic of Albert Gerald Lewis, in the 'office'. Scanned from 'The R.A.F. in Action' published during the war. His story is here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showt...ory-of-a-pilot with some more great photos. RedToo. Last edited by RedToo; 10-03-2013 at 07:07 PM.

 Hauptmann Joppien (I./JG 51) recieved the Ritterkreuz (knight's Cross) on 16 September 1940, after his twenty-first victory. Scanned from 'Fighter! Luftwaffe Fighter Planes and Pilots'. The very image of a dashing fighter pilot. RedToo.

 Pilot Officers JRB Meaker and PR Burton of 249 Squadron,both killed within hours of each other on the 27th September 1940. Burton was killed first,after chasing and firing at a Bf110 above the roof tops of Hailsham but he ran out of ammo. In a last ditch attempt to bring the hun invader down he rammed the nazi plane,bringing it down in a field just outside of Hailsham,but was unfortunately killed in the process of doing so. The pilot of the Bf110 was Hptm Horst Liensberger of Stab V(Z) LG1. Meaker died a few hours later that same day,he as firing at a formation of Ju88's when his aircraft was hit by the cross fire from the enemy bombers,East of London,near Dallington. He bailed out of his stricken aircraft but was hit by the tailplane as he did so,and fell to his death,his parachute unopened. (You may have noticed my using of Plt Off JRB Meaker on my avatar,this is just a small personal tribute to our RAF pilots of this time that sacrificed so much for this country's liberty.)
