I am mystified by how, if this gentleman flew operationally, he had no operational medals (France and Germany Star). I’m also annoyed at the media coverage - Channel 4 have just called him (several times) ‘field sergeant’, and he was not a pilot. Typically, members of the Caribbean community have trotted out the usual ‘they were ignored/forgotten/given nothing’ whines. I wonder if, had he not been from that community, we would have seen a full funeral at St Clement Danes, CAS in attendance, media coverage…
