He earned his Victoria Cross as a pilot in the Royal Air Force Bomber Command during the Second World War. Born in Baillieston, Lanarkshire, he applied to join the RAF on the outbreak of war. After initial training, he was selected as a bomber pilot, and soon became a flying instructor himself. He was eventually given an operational posting, flying a number of raids before that on Düsseldorf which led to the award of the VC. On a later raid he was shot down and spent some time as a prisoner of war in Germany. He left the RAF after the war, and worked in the agricultural industry. On 19 November 2009 his VC was sold at auction for £384,000, a record for a VC awarded to a recipient from the United Kingdom WE ARE UACC REGISTERED DEALERS NUMBER RD209 We are UACC Registered Dealers RD209 Visit our store!© Buyautographs Payment We accept Paypal Shipping Flat items are packaged in board backed envelopes with 'Please Do Not Bend' printed to the front.
