(excerpt when presented with the Flying Medal after WW2)...

"This Sergeant Pilot has shown conspicuous gallantry as an glider pilot. He was released at 500 feet over the sea and glided six miles. During this time, he was under fire from anti-aircraft and searchlights. He landed in a field selected by his Commanding Officer. He then took part in the capture of Syracuse. It was due to his brilliant landing that the blowing of the bridge was saved and the operation was successful."
