A bit of thread drift, but fascinating background to Guy Gibson here: https://flashbak.com/fascinating-dam...phemera-36506/
….including music he chose for his appearance on desert island discs on 19th February 1944 and copy of "Valuation for Probate" of his effects after his death (his VC was valued at £250!)

Gibson's Desert Island Discs Music Choices
  1. Richard Addinsell . Warsaw Concerto
  2. Jack Hylton & His Orchestra. Where or When (from Babes In Arms)
  3. A Thousand and One Nights Waltz. Johann Strauss II
  4. The Flying Dutchman. R Wagner
  5. Bing Crosby. If I Had My Way
  6. The Marines Hymn. Fred Waring & His Pennsylvanians
  7. Royal Air Force March Past
  8. Ride of the Valkyries. Richard Wagner
