DISCLAIMERThe CA College 100 suite of albums has been prepared by volunteers, drawing on the information found primarily in the College Hall Library Archive. Much of this information was diligently maintained by dedicated Library staff until c1970, at which point a series of defence savings measures resulted in significant reductions in Library resource and, as a consequence, the ability to maintain accurate, up-to-date records.

Whilst our volunteers have tried hard to corroborate fact, there has been little time to research more deeply into data held elsewhere in the public domain. Thus, the data represented in the CA College 100 suite of albums is offered in good faith as a baseline to which we might, at a later date, offer amendments.

If any reader has information that would add to the accuracy of the suite of albums, we would be delighted to hear from you. In a sense, regard this suite of albums as a first draft to which you are invited to offer constructive feedback in order that we might establish a true record of the College’s Heritage and the contributions made to it by all Cranwellians.

Where we have received feedback, we have inserted the proposed changes in RED. Please feel free to offer more at [email protected].

Air Ops 1944/45 Roll of Honour - ex-Flight Cadets

On 12 November 1944, the Royal Air Force carried out one of the most successful precision bombing attacks of the Second World War, resulting in the sinking of the German battleship 'Admiral von Tirpitz'. The attack was made by 29 Lancasters of Nos 9 and 617 Squadrons, the latter led by Cranwellian JB Tait.

Hugh Gordon MALCOLM VC

Born at Broughty Ferry, D u n d e e , M a l c o l m entered the Royal Air Force College Cranwell on 9 January 1936.

In January 1938 he joined 26 (Army Co-operation) squadron at Catterick. In May 1939 he suffered a serious head injury in a Westland Lysander crash. When the war started Malcolm was serving with No 17 Training Group.

On 4 march 1941 he was p r o m o t e d t o F l i g h t Lieutenant and was Air L i a i s o n o f fi c e r o n G e n e r a l B e r n a r d Montgomery's general staff.

By the end of 1941 he had risen to the rank of Squadron Leader and joined No 18 Squadron as a flight commander, fl y i n g t h e B r i s t o l B l e n h i e m b a s e d i n Suffolk, UK.

d. 13/01/1942 Malta.)

GC ACTION

On 11 Feb 40, the SS Kildare was hit by two bombs. One exploded in the grain cargo, which shifted, causing the ship to list heavily; the other lodged in the after deck cabin, but did not explode. The ship limped into Immingham Dock.

Dowland-Ryan, with Armament Instructor Leonard Harrison GC, fitted a voltmeter to drain the electric charge. The locking rings were removed and the defused bomb was lowered into a truck for further examination.

I n J u n 4 0 , D o w l a n d - R y a n performed a similar feat of bravery with the same efficiency and promptitude on board a trawler.

He was killed in action near Malta in 1942.

Laurence Frank SINCLAIR GCGC ACTION

On 30 Sep 40, a Blenheim bomber was taking off from RAF Wattisham when one engine cut out and the bomber crashed in flames.

Sinclair immediately went to the scene to help, but two 250lb bombs exploded before he reached it. Undeterred, and knowing full well that there were two more 250lb bombs on board, he pressed on and dashed into the burning wreck.

Of the three crew, he was able to drag out the air gunner, Sergeant Walters, and take him to an ambulance. Unfortunately, he died from his injuries. The pilot, Sergeant J Merrett was killed.

The navigator, Sergeant Byron, survived, but Sinclair did not discover this for 50 years.
