Hi everyone
Inbetween moving our house about after SWMBO decided to redesign everything in every room ! I have been grabbing a bit of benchtime
The subject
Flight Lieutenant James Nicolson VC, Royal Air Force
Flight Lieutenant Nicolson was Fighter Command’s only VC in the Second World War. His decoration was awarded after an engagement with the enemy near Southampton on 16 August 1940, when his aircraft was hit by 4 cannon shells, 2 of which wounded him while another set fire to the gravity tank. When about to abandon his aircraft because of the flames in the cockpit, he sighted an enemy fighter. This he attacked and shot down, although as a result of staying with his aircraft he sustained serious burns to his hands, face and legs.
