  • RAF COLLEGE CRANWELL“Gongs Galore”

    Cranwellians Roll of Honour &

    Cranwellians Awarded Medals and Honours

  • DISCLAIMERThe CA College 100 suite of albums has been prepared by volunteers, drawing on the information found primarily in the College Hall Library Archive. Much of this information was diligently maintained by dedicated Library staff until c1970, at which point a series of defence savings measures resulted in significant reductions in Library resource and, as a consequence, the ability to maintain accurate, up-to-date records.

    Whilst our volunteers have tried hard to corroborate fact, there has been little time to research more deeply into data held elsewhere in the public domain. Thus, the data represented in the CA College 100 suite of albums is offered in good faith as a baseline to which we might, at a later date, offer amendments.

    If any reader has information that would add to the accuracy of the suite of albums, we would be delighted to hear from you. In a sense, regard this suite of albums as a first draft to which you are invited to offer constructive feedback in order that we might establish a true record of the College’s Heritage and the contributions made to it by all Cranwellians.

    Where we have received feedback, we have inserted the proposed changes in RED. Please feel free to offer more at [email protected].

    Born at Broughty Ferry, D u n d e e , M a l c o l m entered the Royal Air Force College Cranwell on 9 January 1936.

    In January 1938 he joined 26 (Army Co-operation) squadron at Catterick. In May 1939 he suffered a serious head injury in a Westland Lysander crash. When the war started Malcolm was serving with No 17 Training Group.

    On 4 march 1941 he was p r o m o t e d t o F l i g h t Lieutenant and was Air L i a i s o n o f fi c e r o n G e n e r a l B e r n a r d Montgomery's general staff.

    SFTS Course 30 Sqn 2

    VC Citation (London Gazette):

    "On 4th August, 1944, Squadron Leader Bazalgette was ‘Master Bomber’ of a Pathfinder Squadron detailed to mark an important target at Trossy-St. Maximin for the main bomber force. When nearing the target his Lancaster came under heavy anti-aircraft fire. Both starboard engines were put out of action and serious fires broke out in the fuselage, and the starboard main-plane. The bomb aimer was badly wounded. As the deputy master bomber had already been shot down, the success of the attack depended on Squadron Leader Bazalgette, and this he knew. Despite the appalling conditions in his burning aircraft, he pressed on gallantly to the target, marking and bombing it accurately. That the attack was successful was due to his magnificent effort. After the bombs had been dropped the Lancaster dived, practically out of control. By expert airmanship and great exertion Squadron Leader Bazalgette regained control. But the port inner engine then failed and the whole of the starboard mainplane became a mass of flames. Squadron Leader Bazalgette fought bravely to bring his aircraft and crew to safety. The mid-upper gunner was overcome by fumes. Squadron Leader Bazalgette then ordered those of his crew who were able to leave by parachute to do so. He remained at the controls and attempted the almost hopeless task of landing the crippled and blazing aircraft in a last effort to save the wounded bomb aimer and helpless gunner. With superb skill, and taking great care to avoid a small French village nearby, he brought the aircraft down safely. Unfortunately, it then exploded and this gallant officer and his two comrades perished. His heroic sacrifice marked the climax of a long career of operations against the enemy. He always chose the more dangerous and exacting roles. His courage and devotion to duty were beyond praise.”

  • Lionel Wilmot Brabazon REES VC

    On 1st July 1916 at Double Crassieurs, France, Major Rees, whilst on flying duties, sighted what he thought was a bombing party of our machines returning home, but were in fact enemy aircraft. Major Rees was attacked by one of them, but after a short encounter it disappeared, damaged. The others then attacked him at long range, but he dispersed them, seriously damaging two of the machines. He chased two others but was wounded in the thigh, temporarily losing control of his aircraft. He righted it and closed with the enemy, using up all his ammunition, firing at very close range. He then returned home, landing his aircraft safely. Medical examination showed that Rees had been fortunate in not having a leg artery severed, and he spent several weeks in hospital, and ended up with a slight but permanent limp. On 5th August 1916, came the news of his Victoria Cross award, which he received from King George V on 14th December 1916. When fit again for duty, he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel on 1st May 1917 and travelled to the USA as part of Harold Balfour’s Mission entourage. On his return, he was given command of No 1 School of Aerial Fighting, Turnberry, Ayrshire. He remained at Turnberry for the rest of the war, and was awarded the Air Force Cross on 2nd November 1918, and decorated with an OBE.

    In 1919, he was granted a permanent commission as a Wing Commander. On 15th January 1920 he was given the Freedom of Caernarfon, and presented with an ornate Sword of Honour. In 1923-1924, he became Assistant Commandant to the newly created RAF College, Cranwell; and in 1925 he commenced a two years’ stint in the Directorate of Training, at the Air Ministry, and appointed ADC to King George V. In April 1926, he was posted to the Middle East as Group Captain, in command. He later commanded the RAF Depot at Uxbridge.

    d. 13/01/1942 Malta.)

    GC ACTION

    On 11 Feb 40, the SS Kildare was hit by two bombs. One exploded in the grain cargo, which shifted, causing the ship to list heavily; the other lodged in the after deck cabin, but did not explode. The ship limped into Immingham Dock.

    Dowland-Ryan, with Armament Instructor Leonard Harrison GC, fitted a voltmeter to drain the electric charge. The locking rings were removed and the defused bomb was lowered into a truck for further examination.

    I n J u n 4 0 , D o w l a n d - R y a n performed a similar feat of bravery with the same efficiency and promptitude on board a trawler.

    He was killed in action near Malta in 1942.

  • Laurence Frank SINCLAIR GCGC ACTION

    On 30 Sep 40, a Blenheim bomber was taking off from RAF Wattisham when one engine cut out and the bomber crashed in flames.

    Sinclair immediately went to the scene to help, but two 250lb bombs exploded before he reached it. Undeterred, and knowing full well that there were two more 250lb bombs on board, he pressed on and dashed into the burning wreck.

    Of the three crew, he was able to drag out the air gunner, Sergeant Walters, and take him to an ambulance. Unfortunately, he died from his injuries. The pilot, Sergeant J Merrett was killed.

    The navigator, Sergeant Byron, survived, but Sinclair did not discover this for 50 years.
