Re: Stanley Orr
Hi guys
I haven't researched that action as yet. The Telegraph obituary stated: One day in May 1944, Orr shot down a German seaplane and shared in the kill of two others which were landing on the water. He was awarded a third DSC for his courage, skill and determination, and mentioned in dispatches for outstanding services in Emperor. Wikipedia states: For his part with this operation, Orr was awarded the second Bar to his DSC.[2] Flying in a mixed formation of 18 aircraft from 804 and 800 Naval Air Squadron on 14 May, Orr led the formation, attacking shipping near Vikten Island and along with Lieutenant Blyth Ritchie, he shot down a Heinkel He 115 float plane.[16] At the same time he also shared in the destruction of two Blohm & Voss BV 138 flying boats and two more Heinkel float planes, for which he was mentioned in dispatches.[3]Cheers Brian
