Wg Cdr Hugh Lowther DAWSON DFC

Hi guys

Former Wg Cdr Flying at RAF Hornchurch (1941); posted to Malta (1942) as CO RAF Hal Far; volunteered to fly clandestine nocturnal missions over Sicily in black-painted Hurricane, dropping canisters to agents. Awarded DFC.

Has anyone a photograph/scan of him?

The Hurricane he flew in Malta was dubbed 'Dawson's Folly'; has anyone a photograph?

Does anyone know the serial number?

I assume that he had operational experience before taking command of the Hornchurch Wing. Any information?

Any help appreciated, please.


Stay safe, take care
Brian
