Copy of Royal Marines service papers etc. The Official Recommendation for the Air Force Cross: ‘Warrant Officer Class 2 Cranch is the Qualified Helicopter Instructor in 7 Flight Army Air Corps in Brunei. On the evening of the 18 March 1998 he was the duty standby pilot when details were received in the Flight Operations Room of the requirement to carry out an urgent Casualty Evacuation from the area of the Ulu Tutorf `P This was for the SAS Selection Course. WO2 Cranch calmly assessed the situation and briefed his crew. En route it became apparent that the combination of very low light levels and haze, caused by local fires, would make the sortie difficult. After they had been flying for fifteen minutes and were within four miles of the designated jungle Landing Point (LP) the conditions deteriorated even further, due to heavy tropical rain and low cloud. By this stage he was in radio communications with personnel on the ground and instructed them to show as much light as possible. This enabled him to locate the LP. The LP is particularly difficult to land at, even by day. The safe approach route to it involves flying down a valley and then making a sharp tun to land almost immediately on a small knoll next to a small cliff, surrounded by 200 feet high trees in secondary jungle. On making his initial approach he lost his visual reference and was forced to overshoot. He then repositioned the aircraft to attempt a further approach and was informed by radio that the condition of one of the casualties had deteriorated and was now critical. On this second attempt to land he told his winch operator, in the rear of the aircraft, to open the cabin door and with the aid of an infra-red torch assist by giving him a running commentary. Forward visibility was almost non-existent because of the heavy rain and low air speed. His visibility, though poor, was improved marginally through the side windows. Using the crewman’s commentary and the limited information available to him, he was able to make a highly unorthodox but successful approach to land at the LP. This was at very great risk to himself and his crew and displayed conspicuous personal bravely A lesser man might well have aborted the mission but Cranch was totally selfless in his determination to rescue the casualties. After emplaning the casualties, he lifted from the LP and started to route back to the Medical Reception Station in Seria. The weather conditions had deteriorated further and he was forced to fly almost solely on instruments. By skilful airmanship he landed safely and the one casualty in a critical condition was given medical treatment. The Medical Officer later confirmed that any further delay would have resulted in a fatality. Throughout the incident in the most adverse weather conditions WO2 Cranch displayed not only exceptional flying ability. calmness and professional judgement. but above all outstanding courage. I strongly recommend that he be officially recognised for his conspicuous gallantry on I8 March l998.’ Major Paul Andrew Cranch was born in 1954 and at the age of 16 years joined the Royal Marines, completing his training in 1971 was posted to 41 Commando and then later 42 Commando. It was with this unit he served his first tour in Northern Ireland. Originally serving in a Rifle Company, he later served with the Recce Support Coy, qualifying as a sniper. In 1980 with the rank of Sergeant he volunteered for service with the RM Air Squadron, qualifying as an Observer he was posted to 3 Commando Brigade Air Squadron and with this unit embarked to the South Atlantic, Falklands War, during this conflict his service papers show he was wounded in Action, with a gun shot wound to the leg. Recovering, he remained with the unit and was selected for Pilot Training, which he completed in 1986. Then followed various postings, including ship operations. In 1989 he was selected to attend the Qualified Helicopter Instructors Course, which he successfully completed. He was now the recipient of the Royal Navy Long Service & Good Conduct Medal and with 22 years service, he transferred to the Army Air Corps. He joined 671 Squadron at Middle Wallop and was later posted to 7 Flight AAC, then operating in Brunei. It was during this 2 year tour, that he made the daring Casevac operation resulting in the award of the Air Force Cross. Commissioned to the rank of Captain he received his second Long Service & Good Conduct Medal, this time a Regular Army example. In 1999 he was selected to attend the Apache Attack Helicopter conversion course at Fort Rucker USA, which he passed and a further course with Boeing in Phoenix Arizona. Returning to the UK he converted to the UK Longbow Apache and served with 651 Squadron AAC. After an 18 months tour he was posted to Army Aviation Standards and at the age of 53 years was posted to 7 Regiment AAC then based at Netheravon. Now at the age of 55 years, he was given a 2 year extension, again serving with the Army Aviation Standards at Middle Wallop.
