WW1 & WW2 Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force Father and Son Casualty Medal and Paperwork Grouping, the medals relate to two members of the Mayo family, the first is a 1914-15 star trio awarded to the father “4162 CPL A E P MAYO R.F.C” and the second is 1939-45 star, France and Germany star and War Medal awarded to Flight Sergeant (Navigator) N G Mayo RAF who was killed in action on air operations over Germany 7th/8th March 1945. The medals have been professionally framed along with the original casualty forwarding slip for Flight Sergeant Mayo’s medals, his Caterpillar Club membership card an Irvin Parachute company enamel badge and photographs of the father in RFC uniform and the son in RAF uniform. ** Accompanying the grouping is a case full of original paperwork relating to both members of the family, including letters sent back from France in the first world war and a number of letters written by their son (F/Sgt Mayo) to his mother and father and various official letters and personal letters regarding their son being missing and later confirmed killed in action. Flight Sergeant Mayo’s handwritten diaries which go up to 4th March 1945. Flight Sergeant Mayo’s original medal forwarding box remains in the case. His Flying Log book still remains in the original Air Ministry envelope addressed to his father. His log book starts with training, in 1945 he joined 103 Squadron at Elsham Wolds, his second operation was the infamous night time bombing raid on Dresden on the 13th February 1945. He participated in a number of the raids at the end of the war on the heavily defended German targets. His last mission being a night time operation to Dessau, where the book is marked “FAILED TO RETURN” and stamped “DEATH PERSUMED”. He became a member of the Caterpillar club due to bailing out of his aircraft on Thursday 7th December 1944, he records the account in his log book and his personal diary, where he appears to be over the moon that he was given “two pints on the house!”. The Mayo family lived in Finchley, North London and it would appear that his father was do distraught with the loss of his son that he packed everything away only to be discovered years later when the family home was cleared. Truly wonderful time capsule grouping.
