| Christie, Werner Click the name above to see a profile of Christie, Werner
| Christie, Werner Born in December 1917, Werner Christie piloted aircraft during the defence of Norway from German attack in early 1940. After the defeat of his country, he managed to make his escape, eventually making it to Canada. Later, he commanded No.332 Sqn RAF, one of the Norwegian squadrons of the British Royal Air Force. He went on to command No.234 Sqn, 150 Wing and the Hunsdon Wing. When with the Hunsdon Wing, he mainly flew his personal Mustang Mk.IV aircraft, with a prominent bright red spinner allowing his aircraft to be easily recognisable to fellow pilots. His metal-finish Mustang KH790 (WHC) also carried the Wing Commander insignia, and had yellow leading edges on the wings. It carried a Type C roundel on the upper wing, without the common yellow surround. Notably, the serial number KH790 of his aircraft was somewhat slanted in appearance, having been painted in alignment with the ground rather than the centreline of the aircraft. His personal code letters WHC were painted in black in the widely used small type letters, and were all forward of the fuselage roundel, under the sliding canopy. After taking command of the Hunsdon Wing on 8th March 1945, Werner Christie was forced to abandon his aircraft over enemy territory on 18th April 1945. He was subsequently taken prisoner for the rest of the war. Werner Christie passed away at home on 29th December 2004. | |

| Scott-Malden, David Click the name above to see a profile of Scott-Malden, David
| Scott-Malden, David Born 26th December 1919, at Portslade, Sussex , David Scott-Malden became a Pilot Officer in October 1939. After training in the Cambridge University Air Squadron, Scott-Malden was selected for an Army Co-Operation course as a pilot officer. He was thrilled when in late May 1940 the chief instructor announced that he had "a severe disappointment" to communicate: "Gentlemen," he said, "you are to be transferred immediately to fighters". Scott-Malden joined No 603 (City of Edinburgh) Squadron at Hornchurch, Essex in early October 1940 as a replacement Spitfire pilot during the early stage of the Battle of Britain over the South-East. The squadron had been much depleted by losses that summer as was only too apparent in an action over Kent on October 12th. "Eight aircraft were directed into a large gaggle of Me109 fighters, we split up individually and passed head-on through the enemy formation. There was a sense of shock as a distant series of silhouettes suddenly became rough metal with grey-green paint and yellow noses, passing head-on on either side. At the far end I had a few minutes dog fight with the last 109, scoring hits leaving a trail of black smoke. Then we were alone at 20,000 feet, the German gliding down with an engine which coughed and barely turned over, I with very little ammunition and very little petrol. He glided towards the Channel. I looked for an airfield before my petrol ran out. Strangely, I felt inclined to wave to him as I left. But then I was only 20". It was Scott-Malden who would go onto many other victories with five confirmed and as many as seven probables. In June 1940 he was posted to fly Spitfires with No 611 (West Lancashire) Squadron at Digby, Lincolnshire before being transferred to No 603 (City of Edinburgh) Squadron at Hornchurch in early October. In the New Year of 1941 Scott-Malden flew offensive sweeps with 603 over northern France. He was promoted to flight commander and in September received command of No 54 Squadron. Bearing the initials "S-M" below the cockpit and the legend "Bahrain", Scott-Maldens Spitfire W3632 - built at the Supermarine factory at Woolston, Hampshire - was a gift from the people of Bahrain, who had raised £15,000 to purchase the Spitfire. Moving in November to headquarters No 14 Group in Scotland, Scott-Malden had the task of helping to bring to operational readiness the first Free Norwegian fighter squadrons, with pilots who had escaped from Norway. When they were ready Scott-Malden was appointed, in March 1942, to command the Norwegian Fighter Wing of three squadrons at North Weald in Essex. In the summer, the wing built a magnificent reputation and covered itself in glory during the disastrous Dieppe raid of August 20. Operating from the Kent coastal airfield at Manston, Scott-Malden led Nos 242, 331 and 332 squadrons in three separate sorties on the day, seeking, against great odds, to protect the mostly Canadian troops as they attempted to land and then to withdraw. Scott-Malden was awarded a DSO in 1942 and was also decorated by King Haakon of Norway with the Norwegian War Cross, lunching with the King afterwards at Claridges. In New Year 1944, in preparation During the run for the Normandy invasion, in 1944 Scott Malden joined a mobile group control unit on Goodwood racecourse. After D-Day June 6, the unit moved to Normandy with the roll to control fighter support. During the summer of 1944 Scott-Malden was promoted acting group captain and given command of No 125, a Spitfire wing covering the Allied forces as they advanced through North-West Europe from nine different points. Scott-Malden took a permanent commission witht he RAF and took a number staff and command appointments, one of which was to assist with plans for the Suez campaign of 1956. Scott-Malden final tally of victories stood at 3 confirmed destroyed with two shared, five probables and 12 damaged with another one sharedbecame an Air Vice marshal in 1965. and left the RAF in 1966 taking a administrator position with the Ministry of Transport and in 1978 retiring to Norfolk . Sadly, he died on 1st March 2000. Citation for the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross. Citation for the award of the Bar to the Distinguished Flying Cross. Citation for the award of the Distinguished Service Order. | |
