Air Chief Marshall Gus Walker
Gus Walker was the Station Commander of RAF Syerston (where I did my BFTS on JP3's and JP4's) and saw a taxying Lancaster on fire bombed up with a 4,000lb bomb and a lot of incendiaries. He went straight to the aircraft and tried to remove the incendiaries to prevent the 4,000 lb bomb exploding. He was unsuccessful and lost his right arm in the explosion.
The sort of leadership we rarely see today. I met him while at Syerston and he was a nice bloke who could chat to Acting Pilot Officers even though he was an Air Marshall.
