Unlikely as the citation said on landing, hit vehicle, turned over & caught fire & they would have been quicker with the OBE which was gazetted in November 45

Rowan is currently in an old people's home with my mother. He said he was with 5, 28 & 10 RIAF. AHB have no note of Rowan's injuries so could not get a date therefore no name of pilot he rescued. Assuming post-hostilities as would an OBE be awarded for such an action in war?

Will be visiting him again soon so wil ask if he has his logbook-he was very unassuming & gentle & never mentioned his OBE. His wife died last year & he is now blind but was so pleased to talk.
