First Aid kit in metal tin, tunic buttons and other associated items. Norman Hugh Johnson was born in 1924, he was the son of Harris & Gertrude Johnson of 71 Gloucester Road, Hampton Middlesex. He enlisted in the Royal Air Force and qualified as an Air Gunner. Posted to 106 Squadron Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve where he served as a rear gunner. On a mission to Berlin on 2/3rd December 1943, his Lancaster Bomber was attacked by a Ju88 shortly after leaving the target area, prior to this the aircraft engine had been hit by enemy flak and set on fire, the pilot managing to extinguish the flames by putting the aircraft into a steep dive, the aircraft was then attacked by a German night fighter, the Air Gunner (Johnson) replied with a short burst before his guns jammed. On the night of 26th/27th April 1944, Johnson and his crew were sent to bomb the ball bearing factory at Schweinfurt. The operational report for 106 Squadron states that contact with his aircraft was lost shortly after take off. The Flight Engineer with Johnson on this mission was Sergeant Norman Cyril Jackson V.C, his award of the Victoria Cross was for this mission and the recommendation for the award was as follows; “This airman was the flight engineer in a Lancaster detailed to attack Schweinfurt on the night of 26th April 1944. Bombs were dropped successfully and the aircraft was climbing out of the target area. Suddenly it was attacked by a fighter at about 20,000 feet. The captain took evading action at once, but the enemy secured many hits. A fire started near a petrol tank on the upper surface of the starboard wing, between the fuselage and the inner engine. Sergeant Jackson was thrown to the floor during the engagement. Wounds which he received from shell splinters in the right leg and shoulder were probably sustained at that time. Recovering himself, he remarked that he could deal with the fire on the wing and obtained his captain's permission to try to put out the flames. Pushing a hand fire-extinguisher into the top of his life-saving jacket and clipping on his parachute pack, Sergeant Jackson jettisoned the escape hatch above the pilot's head. He then started to climb out of the cockpit and back along the top of the fuselage to the starboard wing. Before he could leave the fuselage his parachute pack opened and the whole canopy and rigging lines spilled into the cockpit. Undeterred, Sergeant Jackson continued. The pilot (Tony Mifflin), bomb aimer (Maurice Toft) and navigator (Frank Higgins) gathered the parachute together and held on to the rigging lines, paying them out as the airman crawled aft. Eventually he slipped and, falling from the fuselage to the starboard wing, grasped an air intake on the leading edge of the wing. He succeeded in clinging on but lost the extinguisher, which was blown away. By this time, the fire had spread rapidly and Sergeant Jackson was involved. His face, hands and clothing were severely burnt. Unable to retain his hold he was swept through the flames and over the trailing edge of the wing, dragging his parachute behind. When last seen it was only partly inflated and was burning in a number of places. Realising that the fire could not be controlled, the captain gave the order to abandon aircraft. Four of the remaining members of the crew landed safely. The captain and rear gunner have not been accounted for. Sergeant Jackson was unable to control his descent and landed heavily. He sustained a broken ankle, his right eye was closed through burns and his hands were useless. These injuries, together with the wounds received earlier, reduced him to a pitiable state. At daybreak he crawled to the nearest village, where he was taken prisoner. He bore the intense pain and discomfort of the journey to Dulag Luft with magnificent fortitude. After ten months in hospital he made a good recovery, though his hands require further treatment and are only of limited use. This airman's attempt to extinguish the fire and save the aircraft and crew from falling into enemy hands was an act of outstanding gallantry. To venture outside, when travelling at 200 miles an hour, at a great height and in intense cold, was an almost incredible feat. Had he succeeded in subduing the flames, there was little or no prospect of his regaining the cockpit. The spilling of his parachute and the risk of grave damage to its canopy reduced his chances of survival to a minimum. By his ready willingness to face these dangers he set an example of self-sacrifice which will ever be remembered. Johnson’s mother was a guest of Sergeant Jackson at Buckingham Palace when he received the Victoria Cross from the King, details of which are in newspaper cuttings accompanying the medal group. It was only the Pilot and Johnson, the rear Air Gunner, who were killed in the raid. Jackson’s Victoria Cross medal group was sold at Spink in 2004 for over £235,000 and form part of the Lord Ashcroft Victoria Cross collection. This grouping was discovered when a house and contents belonging to Johnson’s brother was sold to the current vendor, she found the grouping in the loft and has preserved it until now. A truly interesting and historic WW2 RAF medal grouping.
