Very feint memory of a Jock Caskie.
I don't think the one you are looking for is your man.
There were older pilots on the Mk 2s in the 60s. As a wartime DFC in 1943 that would put him at about 23-25 then and 47-50 5 ish on the Vulcan.
There were still a sprinkling of medal ribbons around the bomber bases then but usually at wg cdr level with the odd sqn ldr.
To give you an idea, ex-sgt nav, shot down in 1943 after the dams raid, at Waddo in 1967 was an 'old man' compared with all the operational aircrew.
