Re: Flt Lt Richard Playne Stevens - Nightfighter Ace
Indeed so, Gerry.
Terry Thompson was talking about this to me today and was satisfied from his research going back 25 years that R P Stevens was not a Battle of Britain "accredited" pilot. I may have misunderstood, but I think that his Record of Service failed to show an issue of the BofB bar thus indicating that the powers-that-be never considered him to be B-of-B either. Terry did mention saomething about "another R Stevens" on 151 Squadron and this is where the confusion arose. If so, it seems that this "other" R Stevens is not on the list. Should he be? Whoever he is...!!
