Re: Wg Cdr Hugh Lowther DAWSON DFC
34148 was his service number and he retired in Feb 59 (pre-war officer as well). Didn't get the DFC until 6 Oct 42 but can see very little else about him prior to Malta

Re: Wg Cdr Hugh Lowther DAWSON DFC
Brian,
One (34148) P/O Hugh Lowther Dawson is mentioned as being a member of No.57 (B) Sqn RAF, in March of 1935: https://57squadron.wordpress.com/between-the-wars/ (p.22 of 38 PDF). Brief mention of a F/Lt H. L. Dawson, here: https://discovery.nationalarchives.g...ls/r/C16359500 Oxford I L9654 - 8 FTS 3.2.39 (became 8 SFTS 3.9.39). 8 SFTS. Failed to take-off from Montrose due to frost and hit signal box 17.10.39. Damaged Beyond Repair. See: The Oxford, Consul & Envoy File/Hamlin/A-B,2001/p.71. A tad more on your man: http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/schol...2-2RAF-c9.html - scroll down to W/Cdr H. L. Dawson DFC (2 mentions - pp.8-9 of 55 PDF). Col.
