Before my time at Boscombe ( 83-86 ) there had been an ATCO named McGrath, can't recall his first name, who had some sort of 'gammy leg' as a result, I think, of what you described above.
Apparently a hard barsteward, according to the much younger ex-cadets who worked there, and he became Mayor of Salisbury.
He is mentioned, I think, in Max Hastings book on Bomber Command. My copy is in store so unable to check.

Stu, I think you've overstepped the mark with your comment - as others have said this thread is not about glorification of war, the OP asked a simple question and many of us have been pleased to contribute and recall those colleagues who had served our country during WW2.
