MEDALS (x5) "DAMBUSTERS RAID" INTERESTComprising a Distinguished Flying Cross Group of 5 medals in a blue Hayward & Hall case awarded to Flt Lt. Chadwick of 617 Squadron. The lot contains a DFC dated 1944, together with an Air Crew Europe Star with "France & Germany" bar, the 1939-45 star, defence medal and war medal. Also enclosed is a small bag containing dog collar tags & St Christophers belonging to Chadwick 1434387. Included with the lot are extensive documentation & news reports relating to the "Dambuster" raids and the attacks on the 'Turpitz'.Born on the 14th September 1922 in Nottingham he was the son of Harold and Edith Chadwick who were well known shopkeepers in Uttoxeter. He attended Allynes Grammar School before joining the RAF at the ago of 18. He was sent to Canada to train as a pilot under the Empire Air Training Scheme. Unfortunately, he suffered from chronic nose bleeds and air sickness during his training where he clocked up over 60 flying hours on Stearman PT 17 biplanes and Harvards. His air sickness relegated him to a new air crew category that of Navigator/Bomber. He was eventually to join the elite by becoming one of Bomber Commands most skillful bomb aimers and one of the first to drop the 12000 1b 'Tallboy' over Germany whilst attached to the famous 617 'Dambuster' Squadron. Initially posted to RAF Lichfield an aircrew reception centre, in the middle of 1943, he quickly teamed up with Sergeant Pilot Arthur FEARN, a partnership which lasted throughout the war. Both Chadwick and Fearn were posted to 57 Squadron at Scapton flying Lancasters on many missions to Germany which included nine to Berlin interspersed with trips to Frankfurt, Leipzig and Mannheim. On one of the missions to Berlin a 4000 'Cookie' bomb got hung up under the fuselage of the Lancaster. Harold Chadwick grabbed a fire-axe and an emergency oxygen bottle and started to chop away at the retaining hooks. Working in freezing conditions and a howling gale he managed to release the bomb whch in fact landed on Kassel, a large industrial town engaged in manufacturing V1 rockets. Both Chadwick and Fearn were promoted to Flight Lieutenants whilst with 57 Squadron and awarded the DFC each. Chadwick's citation shows he had completed 20 sorties and flown 131 hours with eight attacks on Berlin and stating 'he had always shown courage and determination to bomb the target accurately and consistently in the face of very strong opposition, and his complete disregard of danger had contributed very largely to the success of an excellent crew. In the spring of 1944 Chadwick and his crew 'volunteered' for an attachment to 617 Squadron. This was to take them on many more dangerous missions over Europe culminating in the sinking of the German Battleship 'Tirpitz' in Tromso Fiord Norway in November 1944. Harold Chadwick's final mission was in late 1944 on a sortie to bomb the U-Boat pens at La Pallice. During the flight heavy flak was encountered and the perspex nose of the bomb-aimers compartment was shattered wounding Harold Chadwick in his face, and ending his combat career after 51 missions.After his wounds had healed he became an instructor for the rest of the war. He later retired to Spain and operated a farm also caring for stray animals. He died in February 1995 in Spain.

Group Captain Gilbert Stuart Martin Insall VC MC signed 1970 The Victoria Cross, National Army cover set with corner mounts into an A4 biography page. On 7 November 1915 near Achiet-le-Grand, France, Second Lieutenant Insall, on patrol in Vickers F.B.5 Gunbus No. 5074 with 1st Class Air Mechanic T. H. Donald, engaged an Aviatik two-seater and forced the German pilot to make a rough landing in a ploughed field. Seeing the air crew scramble out and prepare to fire, Insall dived to 500 ft and his gunner opened fire, whereupon the Germans fled. After dropping an incendiary bomb on the downed German aircraft, Insall flew through heavy fire at 2000 ft over enemy trenches. The Vickers' petrol tank was hit, but Insall brought the plane 500 yards back inside Allied lines for an emergency landing. Insall and Donald stayed by the Gunbus through a bombardment of about 150 shells while awaiting nightfall. After dark, they then set to work by torch light to salvage their plane. After they repaired the machine overnight, Insall flew them back to base at dawn. Good Condition. All autographed items are genuine hand signed and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

For this he earned an almost immediate Baronetcy.Earlier, at the Action of the 18th June 1793, Pellew captured the French frigate 'Cleopatre' and seized the French naval code of secret signals, for this Pellew was rewarded by a knighthood.His greatest achievement was in the successful Bombardment of Algiers, 1816 (for which amongst other testimonials he was presented with the silver box in this sale) thereby directly resulting in the release of twelve hundred enslaved christians.
