The emotive Second War Whitley pilot’s casualty campaign group of three awarded to Flying Officer T. H. Parrott, 77 Squadron, Royal Air Force, whose crew on 15/16 March 1940, ‘performed a feat which probably remained unparalleled for the rest of the war. Having dropped their Nickels on Warsaw they returned safely across Germany and then, because the weather was bad, put down as soon as possible after crossing - as they thought - the Franco-German frontier. A few words with the local peasantry quickly disillusioned them, but by that time German troops were approaching on cycles. The quick-witted crew promptly dashed back into the aircraft, took off under rifle fire, and landed safely, but rather shaken, at a French airfield.’ Parrott was to take part in another pioneering flight, albeit with more tragic results, when on 11/12 May 1940, ‘overnight, Bomber Command launched its first deliberate raid on a German town when rail communications passing through Mönchengladbach became the target for a small force of Whitleys and Hampdens.’ Parrott’s Whitley V N1366 KN was the first bomber to crash inside Germany while carrying out a bombing operation on a mainland target. Parrott and three other members of crew were killed in action, whilst the sole survivor was taken prisoner of war 1939-45 Star, 1 clasp, Bomber Command, with named box of issue for clasp; Air Crew Europe Star; War Medal 1939-45, with M.I.D. oak leaf, with named Air Council enclosure slip, and enclosure for Bomber Command clasp, good very fine (lot) £800-£1,200 --- M.I.D. London Gazette 20 February 1940. Thomas Hayward Parrott was the brother of Peter Parrott [see previous lot], and Noel Parrott who also served with Coastal Command during the war. He joined the Royal Air Force aged 19 in 1936. Parrott advanced to Flying Officer, and was posted for operational flying as a pilot to 77 Squadron (Whitleys) operating out of Driffield and then Villeneuve, France. During the early months of the war the Squadron was employed dropping Nickels, or propaganda leaflets, over enemy territory. On 15/16 March 1940, Parrott’s crew ‘performed a feat which probably remained unparalleled for the rest of the war. Having dropped their Nickels on Warsaw they returned safely across Germany and then, because the weather was bad, put down as soon as possible after crossing - as they thought - the Franco-German frontier. A few words with the local peasantry quickly disillusioned them, but by that time German troops were approaching on cycles. The quick-witted crew promptly dashed back into the aircraft, took off under rifle fire, and landed safely, but rather shaken, at a French airfield.’ (Bomber Squadrons of the RAF and their Aircraft by P. Moyes refers) The flight was featured in a Pathé News item, several newspapers, and further detail is provided in The Pilot In The Poster, by R. Parrott: ‘Tomlin and Parrott got out of the aircraft and walked towards a group of peasants running towards them. Tim asked “C’est France, n’est pas?” in his best schoolboy French. The peasant looked at him and shook his head. Tim tried again “Luxembourg alors?” There was another shake of the head but this time the man pointed towards one of his friends and said, “Hans Franzosich” meaning that Hans spoke French. Tim repeated his question. Hans responded “Non, Monsieur, c’est Allemagne, la frontiere est à vingt kilometres” and pointed in the direction of France. Not stopping to thank the Germans, the two crew turned and bolted for their aircraft. As they climbed in, another group of figures started running towards them from the far end of the field. Fortunately the engines started immediately and they raced to take off in the direction indicated by the helpful Hans. Red Verey lights appeared to be shot in their direction but did no damage. Fortunately they had enough petrol to cover 24 km, hedge-hopping over the Siegfried Line to the border, but they did not try to land until they knew that France was below, by a hoarding advertising a well-known French beverage! Even so, at Villeneuve the crew agreed not to stop the engines or disembark until the Flying Officer had gone off to make sure that they were in France. Later they discovered that they had fuel for just 20 minutes more flying after 12 hours in the air and covering a distance of 1,600 miles. When they returned to base they bought a bottle of champagne that they presented to the engine fitter of the ground crew to show their appreciation for the engines starting immediately whilst on the ground in Germany.’ Parrott was to take part in another pioneering flight, albeit with more tragic results, when on 11/12 May 1940, ‘overnight, Bomber Command launched its first deliberate raid on a German town when rail communications passing through Mönchengladbach became the target for a small force of Whitleys and Hampdens.’ (Royal Air Force Bomber Command Losses of the Second World War refers) Parrott flew Whitley V N1366 KN, which ‘T/o Driffield. Crashed near Mönchengladbach, Germany. This was the first bomber to crash inside Germany while carrying out a bombing operation on a mainland target.’ (Ibid). Parrott and three other members of the crew were killed in action. The remaining member of the crew, Flying Officer Don Blew, survived and was taken prisoner of war. A number of years later, Parrott’s brothers Peter and Noel met with Blew and he gave them an account of what happened: ‘Tim had navigated out from Driffield while F/O Blew flew the Whitley. On the way they had discussed what they should do. On arrival Tim took over the controls. F/O Blew came back to the door on the port side. There was no intercom so the pilots had agreed that Tim would flash a torch when he wanted a flare dropped. Blew saw what he believed to be the first flash and dropped a flare and continued to do so each time he saw a flash. At about the time of the 5th flare he saw lots of little holes in the fuselage with little blue flames and then he saw a wall of flame coming down the fuselage towards him. Luckily he had his parachute on and he had only to put his hand on the door handle and lift it. Blew remembered this because it had been modified. Previously it had a handle that went down but it had been changed because someone had leant against it, pushing the handle down, and fallen out. As he jumped and opened his parachute he could see the flares he had dropped and the Whitley, a mass of flames, ahead of them. Blew survived the fall but was taken prisoner and incarcerated in Stalag Luff III at Sagan for the remainder of the war.... The Observer, Sergeant T. T. Atchison, the Wireless Operator, T. Poad, and the Air Gunner, AC2 Jones also perished. The four graves are now at 25.ED 11-14 in the Reichswald Forest War Cemetery at Kleve in Germany. Their Whitley was the first bomber to crash inside Germany while carrying out a bombing operation on a mainland target during World War II.’ (The Pilot In The Poster by R. Parrott refers) Sold with the following related original items and documents: a fine photograph album predominantly relating to the recipient, but with later additions relating to his brother P. L. Parrot, including newspaper cuttings relating to both; a number of photographs from recipient’s service career, and of his grave; the family’s copy of A.A.S.F. by Charles Gardner, in which the recipient is pictured with his crew, having safely returned from their impromptu landing in Germany; with other ephemera.

A good Second War Mosquito Pilot’s D.F.C. and Second Award Bar group of six awarded to Squadron Leader L. W. H.

Welch’s gallantry was recognised with the award of a Bar to his D.F.C. when 6 of the above tally were added during a daring tree-top height raid, which he led on targets in and around Vienna, 6/7 October 1944 Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated ‘1942’, with Second Award Bar, reverse officially dated ‘1945’; 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star, 1 clasp, France and Germany; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; Air Efficiency Award, G.VI.R., 1st issue (Fg. Off. L. W. H. Welch. R.A.F.V.R.) framed and glazed in a Spink & Son, St. James display case, lacquered, generally very fine or better (6) £3,000-£4,000 --- D.F.C. London Gazette 29 December 1942 (jointly listed with Flying Officer W. R. Shuttleworth): ‘In December, 1942, Flight Lieutenant Welch and Flying Officer Shuttleworth, as pilot and navigator of aircraft respectively, undertook a sortie into enemy territory. Despite adverse weather, success was achieved. At least 2 enemy aircraft were destroyed. The skilful execution of the operation reflects great credit on the efforts of these two officers. Both Flight Lieutenant Welch and Flying Officer Shuttleworth have completed numerous sorties over enemy territory.’ D.F.C. Second Award Bar London Gazette 9 January 1945: ‘Squadron Leader Welch has completed much operational flying. He has set a splendid example of skill, keenness and gallantry and has shown the utmost devotion to duty. In October, 1944, he participated in an attack on an airfield in Austria. In spite of intense anti-aircraft fire, Squadron Leader Welch was responsible for the destruction of 2 enemy aircraft. His own aircraft was hit but he flew safely to base, despite fighter interference on the homeward flight. On this notable sortie, Squadron Leader Welch displayed exceptional skill and resolution.’ Leonard William Henry Welch was born in South Stoneham, Hampshire in June 1908. He joined the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve as a Sergeant Pilot in May 1937. Welch carried out initial training at Hamble, and undertook an instructor’s course at Redhill in October 1939. He was posted as an Instructor to No. 1 E.F.T.S., Hatfield in December 1939, and remained employed in this capacity at various stations and O.T.U.’s until June 1942. On the latter date Welch was posted as Flying Officer for operational service with 23 Squadron (Mosquitoes) at Ford. The Squadron pioneered long-range intruder operations over Northern Europe, and Welch flew on at least 21 with them, including 4 September 1942 ‘Intruder - Melun. Me. 210 Chased & Lost. Unidentified E/A Chased Down V/L + Cannons Fired; Strikes Seen. “Damaged”.’ (Log Book refers) Welch also attacked a train south of Amiens, 18/19 September 1942, resulting in ‘Vivid Flash From One Truck.’ (Ibid) He suffered an engine failure off the French Coast, and crawled home with ‘Petrol Gauge Reading Zero - Whew!’, 24/25 October 1942. The following month he carried out 6 attacks on trains, damaging at least 4 of them. Welch, and his now regular navigator - Flying Officer R. Shuttleworth, achieved their greatest haul, 8 December 1942, when they Destroyed 2 enemy aircraft, and Damaged 2 others during one intruder operation. His Log Book, which has two photographs of the aircraft sustaining damage added, gives the following: ‘Intruder - Bourges, Avord - No Activity. Orleans - Strikes On FW. 200 - “Damaged.” Blew Port Wing Off Ju. 87 - “Destroyed.” Strikes On Bucker 131 - “Damaged.” Hit 2nd Bucker 131; Followed It Down And After 2nd Squirt Stbd Wing Came Off - “Destroyed.” Very Inaccurate Flak From Bricy A/D. Chateaudun: - Useless Extreme Range Squirt At FW. 200. Light Flak From A/D Very Close. Landed Ford. - D.F.C.’ Both Welch and Shuttleworth were to receive the D.F.C. for the above action, however, they were on the receiving end from a FW. 190, 28 December 1942, ‘Intruder - Rennes, No Activity. Vannes, Attacked by FW. 190. Stbd Wing Hit; Evaded & Climbed Into Cloud. Landed Predannack.’ Welch and Shuttleworth were posted to 605 Squadron operating from Heston in January 1943, but were almost immediately attached to 85 Squadron operating from Hunsdon. Welch flew on 11 operational sorties with the latter, including 3 May 1943, ‘Intruder - Dijon, Chalon. No Activity. Fired At Leaving French Coast. Attacked By Two FW. 190’s In Mid-Channel. No Cloud Cover. Evasive Tactics Till 190’s Broke Off Engagement. Hit Twice - Elevator, Rear Of Fuselage, Port Wing (Inner Fuel Tank), And Port Airscrew, Frightened By Two Typhoons. Had To Feather Port Airscrew. Hydraulics U/S. Crash-Landed Ford.’ (Ibid) Welch finally returned to fly with 605 Squadron from Castle Camps in June 1943. He flew a further 9 operational sorties with the Squadron, including two Special Ops for 80 Wing (a radio counter-measures unit), before the completion of his 1st tour in August 1943. After a posting to 60 O.T.U., and then 13 O.T.U., Welch returned to operational flying with 605 Squadron at Manston in May 1944. He was crewed with Flying Officer L. R. Page, D.F.M. and Bar, and added to his tally 27 May 1944, ‘Distil - Heligoland Bight With S/L Geoff Wright. Met 4 Mine-Sweeping Ju. 52’s Off Wangerooge. Geoff Got Two, I Got One. Plenty Flak From Ships And Shore - One Destroyed.’ Welch and Page flew in support of the D-Day Landings, and a large number of ‘Diver Patrols’ and ‘Rangers’ from July 1944. Welch was appointed as a Flight Commander in August, and was to be awarded the Bar to his D.F.C. for taking part in a two aircraft raid over targets in Vienna, 6/7 October 1944. The daring raid was recorded in the Daily Mirror, 9 October 1944 (cutting included with the lot) thus: ‘Tree-top flyers from Britain gave Vienna a shock. Two Mosquitoes flew all the way from Britain to Vienna at tree-top height. And in six minutes they were over their airfield targets on Saturday they smashed up ten German planes, and severely damaged six others. The flight took seven hours and meant a round trip of 1,700 miles. Pilot of Mosquito No. 1 was Squadron Leader L. W. H. Welch, D.F.C., of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, a pre-war newspaper reporter. His observer was Flying Officer L. R. Page, D.F.M. and Bar, of Ipswich. “We flew at tree-top height all the way without seeing a solitary Hun”, Squadron Leader Welch said last night. “As we neared Vienna there seemed to be a lot of activity. People looked up and waved to us - then they made a mad dash in all directions. One large air park was packed with enemy machines bunched together all over the place. We just swooped down and sprayed them with cannon and left them a smouldering mass of wreckage.” The other Mosquito was piloted by Flight Lieutenant A. J. Craven. Welch’s Log Book gives the following additional information: ‘Ranger Vienna Area. No A/C Seen At Tulln: Accurate Heavy Flak. Two Ju. 52’s Destroyed (Flamers) On Ground At Fischamend Markt: Accurate Light Flak. At Münchendorf, One Me. 108 Damaged As It Was Landing; Two Ju. 87’s And One He.
