I was reaching to log-in to correct you until I noticed you had rectified your post.
I was 'naving' once, down in Oz I think, when a Group Captain appeared on the flight deck and lo and behold it was Grp Capt Knight sporting a dog collar.
I believe the sequence of Stn Cdrs' names at 2ANS was Chamberlain,Knight,King.
I vaguely recall several O badges being sported at Gaydon, not sure if Harry King's was one of them.
I guess he was the Harry King who was the only survivor of Flt Lord's Dakota crew at Arnhem. He parachuted from the burning aircraft and was captured.After repatriation he made his report and Lord was posthumously awarded the VC.
