Probably not, skua. According to Wiki he wasn’t doing much secret stuff during his VERY short career. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Benn Having started as an AC2 in July 1943 ...

Quote:

He was granted an emergency commission as a pilot officer (on probation) on 10 March 1945.[29] As a pilot officer, Benn served as a pilot in South Africa and Rhodesia.[30] He relinquished his commission with effect from 10 August 1945, three months after the Second World War ended in Europe on 8 May, and just days before the war with Japan ended on 2 September.

A bit different to his father, Air Cdre DSO DFC
