Pilots, observers, navigators, wireless operators and air gunners are among the airmen mentioned above. One of the pilots mentioned was about to take part in an attactc on an enemy cruiser, but his aircraft was unable to take off owing to a technical fault. He immediately asked to be allowed to take his place in the reserve aircraft. Although this delayed his start by ten minutes he overtook the rest of the flight beiore they reached the tar- get. The reserve aircraft on this occasion was not fitted with self-sealing petrol tanks. Another of the airmen was an observer in an aircraft that carried out a successful raid on Aalborg aerodrome in bad weather. Five runs were made over the objective, despite heavy fire trom enemy ground defences. Throughout the siction the observer set a fine example by his cool- ness, ability and devotion to duty. A third airman acts as navigator in the air- craft of his flight commander. He has been en- gaged in many operations against the enemy. On several occasions his accurate navigation has con- tributed materially to the success and safety of the flight formation. A sergeant was the pilot of one of two aircraft flying on- an offensive patrol when he lost con- tact with the leader in heavy cloud. He flew his aircraft to Stavanger aerodrome and, in the face of heavy anti-aircraft fire, attacked with machine gun fire and successfully destroyed at least two enemy aircraft and set a petrol dump on fire. On the homeward flight he successfully engaged a Junkers 88. Sgt. A. J. Haygreen; Cpl. G. J. Higginbotham;P/O. D. F. S. Holbrnok; Sgt. R. G. Hopkins; P/O. L. J. Huggett; A.Flt. Lt. F. A. Ivea; F/O.R.
