Re: 23rd May 1940

Awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Flight Lieutenant Henry Bernard COLLINS
(22215).
In May, 1940, this officer undertook a
mission involving an exceedingly hazardous
flight. Flying a very large and a comparatively
slow aircraft, which was unarmed and
unprotected, he delivered much needed antitank
ammunition to the army in France.
Showing great coolness, determination and
tenacity he succeeded in his mission although
faced with hostile action on both the outward
and return flights.

Looks like it was a Transport Flight there and back
