Where it was driven past Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent who took the salute from the members of the Royal Star and Garter Home. Personally Signed by Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Denis Spotswood GCB, CBE, DSO DFC Chairman of the Governors After leaving Kingston Grammar School, he worked as journalist on the London Evening Standard for three years learning to fly at Reading in his spare time. As a result of this experience he decided to join the RAF in 1936 on a short service commission. He became a General Reconnaissance pilot with No 201 Sqn, at that time flying Saro London I's from Calshot. However in September 1938, at the height of the Munich Crisis, the squadron moved to it's war station at Invergordon, returning a month later. His time with 201 was coming to an end and in 1939 he moved to No 209 Squadron, flying Stranraers which shortly afterwards, in December 1939, was re-equipped with Lerwicks, although Stranraers remained until April 1940. The Lerwick proved to severely underpowered and on 7 January 1941, whilst taking off in L7262 (WQ-Q) he dropped a wing following which the aircraft bounced and then sank, trapping the crew inside. All but two of the crew managed to escape. The Lerwicks were eventually relegated to training duties, but 209 and Denis Spotswood soldiered on with them until May 1941.
Sent to Canada to ferry over a Catalina, with which his squadron was to be re-equipped, he was instead given a Lockheed Hudson to bring over and as a result found himself an instructor on this type and a land based pilot from that moment. As Squadron Commander of No 500 Sqn operating in the Mediterranean he attacked the U595 just north of Oran and had to break off the battle when his aircraft was damaged by flak from the U-boat. However further attacks by aircraft of his squadron resulted in the U595 running aground.
Returning to the UK in early 1943, he was able to utilise his experience of anti-U-boat tactics in the Directorate of Air Tactics at the Air Ministry. After attending the RAF Staff College, he was sent out to the Far East arriving in India in early 1944, where he the Supreme Commander's planning staff, remaining in post into 1946. As well as gaining both the DFC and DSO, he holds the US Legion of Merit and was 'Mentioned in Despatches' twice. Also Signed by Charles Hankins The Black Watch ( Royal Highland Regiment ) Charlie who lost both legs, was wounded in the chest and blinded in one eye in action with the Black Watch in North Africa in the last war, has kept himself at a level of fitness that would shame many a man of half his age. . Instead of riding in one of the taxis on 23rd June, to propel himself in a specially adapted hand - operated wheelchair, the whole 56 miles from the Home at Richmond to the Sea front at Worthing, where his comrades will be waiting to welcome him. The money raised by sponsorship of his gallant journey by various wellwishes and friends of the home, including Richmond schoolchildren, will go by Charlie's own wish, to the Home itself, to the Westminster Hospital Chest Unit, and to the appeal for hydrotherapy pool for the new Strathmore School for Handicapped Children in Ham.
