[Robert Todd]

By the way Keith, Burgham not only lost his NUmber two, Charles Richardson, in action in thier Hurricanes in 1944 but also lost his Number Two, "Dusty" Miller in action during combat in December of 1944. That was to friendly fire when Miller, in the dark, was coming in to land with full landing lights on, undercarriage down and waggling his wings. The admiral, McGrigor was furious. The fire probably came from the cruiser HMS Bellona. That same time Bellona opened up on Burgham as he came in after flying on instruments and attempting to find the convoy for over an hour and being directed by Nairana's Fighter Direction Officer. For those actions Burgham was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.
