16 Feb 77 BFPS 1553 60th Anniversary of the Formation of No 84 Squadron Flt Lt A W Beauchamp Proctor VC . Cover depicts Flt Lt A W Beauchamp Proctor attacking German troops 84 Sqn West Front August 1918 at the Victoria Cross . Flown in Whirlwing Helicopter from RAF Akrotiri to RAF Nicosia. Personally Signed by Air Chief Marshal Sir Denis Barnett. A New Zealander, he joined the RAFO whilst at Cambridge, being awarded a permanent commission in the RAF on completion of his degree. In 1935, he was sent to the USA to study instructional methods used by the American services. In late 1939, he was a member of a mission sent to Italy to investigate the purchase of Italian aircraft for the RAF.
As AOC, No 205 Group, the task fell to him of supervising the move of the RAF from Egypt to it's new bases in Cyprus and remained in Egypt whilst the AOC in C established the new HQ in Cyprus, eventually moving to the new HQ himself in October 1955. However, his tour in the Mediterranean ended in 1956 and he returned to the Britain to command the RAF Staff College. 1956 saw the gradual increase in tension between Britain. France and Egypt following the latter's nationalization of the Suez Canal. When this tension escalated to the point of armed conflict, he found himself appointed to command of the air task force to be involved in the Suez campaign, Operation Musketeer. His immediate staff was selected from officers then attending the Imperial Defence College where much of the early planning for this operation took place. His selection and the appointment of a planning staff divorced from the existing Middle East command structure whilst not a popular move with the resident Middle Eastern commanders (ACM Sir Hubert Patch and AVM W J Crisham) was logical in that Denis Barnett had more recent experience of operations and the situation in Egypt than any other serving Air Officer. The air task force was allocated he role of bombing the Egyptian airfields in order to achieve the required air superiority. He ordered operations to commence at 16:15 hours on 31 Oct 1956 and by 2 November he considered the Egyptian Air Force to have been eliminated as an effective fighting force, a view which was later confirmed by the Bomber Command Operational Research Branch.
From 1965 he was the Member for Weapons Research and Development on the Atomic Energy Authority, a post he held until 1972. Details & black & white photo enclosed. Certified Copy No of 1300.

6 October 1978 BFPS 1620 40th Anniversary of World Seaplane Record. Blue flown cachet Flown in Vulcan of No 35 Sqn from RAF Scampton. Personally Signed by Personally Signed by Air Vice Marshal D C T Bennett. He was initially told that he would be appointed a Group Capt in Training Command, but when this was downgraded to Squadron Leader, he declined the offer, He was eventually granted the rank of Wing Commander and sent to establish a Navigation School at Eastbourne. Having successfully set up this school, he requested an active assignment and was appointed CO of No 77 Squadron. He flew on operations as often as possible but always with a different crew by replacing that crew's pilot, that way he was able to assess the efficiency of all his crews. April 1942 brought a move to the command of No 10, newly equipped with the four-engined Halifax. Later the same month (27th), he took part in a combined raid by No's 10, 35 and 76 squadron against the Tirpitz. Hit by flak his aircraft caught fire and he set course for Sweden. Unable to make Sweden he ordered his crew to bale out whilst he remained at the controls before making his own escape. Landing in deep snow he located his wireless operator and with the help of friendly Norwegians he managed to cross the border into Sweden and eventually return to Britain resuming command of his squadron one month after baling out and to receive an immediate DSO. However, when No 10 Sqn was posted to the Middle East, he did not accompany them as he was summoned to HQ Bomber Command to see the AOC in C, Arthur Harris, his old CO from the flying boat days.Details enclosed with Black & White Photo of AVM Bennetts Seaplane Mercury being loaded on to the Deaplane Maia before the World Record flight to South Africa on 6th October 1938.
