From Tavender.

Britton, Dennis Noble. 1098819, No 83 Sqn.

LG Date 10/9/43 Sorties 25, Flying Hours 150.50

Flight Sergeant Britton has carried out 25 operational flights including 9 with the Pathfinder Force. Nearly all these operations have been against German targets including Berlin 3 Essen 3 Dusseldorf, Duisburg, Cologne 2, and Stettin. He is a very reliable pilot and since volunteering for PFF work he has shown a great promise as captain of a target marking crew. He is possessed of high morale and great determination and, although of a quiet disposition, he possesses a fine offensive spirit. He is recommended for the award of the DFM

This was dated 18 July 1943.

His Station Commander said:

I concur with the recommendation of the squadron commander. Flight Sergeant Britton has performed many operational flights which have been skillfully executed.

Hope that helps,

Jim.
