Gold Fish Club
I am looking for some information on the Gold Fish Club. I believe it is for all service men who have survived a ditch into water. I am looking for some info for my grandfather who ditched into the Channel whilst flying for 233 squadron in WW2. Any help would be most grateful.
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

I think this may have been run by one of the inflatable liferaft companies and a small lapel badge was awarded to anyone who could show that they had used an inflatable in anger. I knew an old guy who had ditched a beaufort off Cyprus but he sadly died a few years back so I can't ask him.
If no one else has a better suggestion then I would say you should contact Avon and Beaufort who make this kind of kit and see if they can help.
