Dear, 239 Squadron; 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star; War Medal 1939-45, these last three also privately inscribed, F./Lt. K. Dear, 239 Squadron, good very fine and better (5) £600-800 O.B.E. London Gazette 1 January 1959. D.F.C. London Gazette 14 November 1944: Flight Lieutenant Dear has completed many eventful sorties during his two tours of operations. He has participated in the destruction of a Junkers 88, and damaged another, and also a Messerschmitt 110. Two further Me. 110s were destroyed in July 1944 near Meaux and Compiegne. He has displayed commendable keenness for operational flying, which with his fine technical skill and cheerfulness sets a splendid example to all navigators. Kenneth Dear, who was born in December 1909, was commissioned in the General Duties Branch as a Navigator in July 1942, having gained operational experience in Beaufighters of No. 125 Squadron on nightfighter duties. At the end of 1943, having acted as a Liaison Officer to the U.S.A.A.F., and assisted in training Radar Operators for the first American nightfighter unit, based at Ayr, he commenced his second operational tour with No. 239 Squadron, a Mosquito unit operating out of West Raynham and, according to his D.F.C. citation, with notable success. He retired as a Squadron Leader in January 1959, shortly after being gazetted for his O.B.E.

A fine Second World War D.F.M. group of five awarded to Flight Sergeant J. C. K. Platts, Royal Air Force, a Rear-Gunner who completed over 40 sorties, many of them as "Marker" and no less than 15 of them against the "Big City": prior to joining Pathfinders, he participated in the Hamburg "firestorm" raids and in the famous strike against Peenemunde in August 1943 Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (636316 F./Sgt. J. C. K. Platts, R.A.F.); 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star; Defence and War Medals, good very fine and better (5) £2000-2200 D.F.M. London Gazette 15 August 1944. The original recommendation states: This N.C.O. has taken part in 42 attacks on German and German occupied territory, 24 of which have been as "Marker". Many of these have been against the most heavily defended targets, 15 on Berlin. His aircraft has on many occasions been a target for the enemy defences, but throughout his fortitiude and devotion to duty have made a valuable contribution to the safety of his crew. He is recommended for the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal. John Cyril Keith Platts flew his first operational sortie - against Gelsenkirchen - as an Air Gunner in No. 101 Squadron, a Lancaster unit operating out of Ludford Magna, Lincolnshire, on the night of 9 July 1943, followed by a strike against Essen and a brace of trips to Hamburg on the 29th and on the 2 August, these last two at the height of the "firestorm" raids. But if the scenes of devastation in that city were an eye-opener for an Air Gunner at the beginning of his first operational tour - Platts flew as "Tail End Charlie" - his next sortie, in Lancaster JA 926, piloted by Flight Sergeant John Sexton, an Australian, against the secret rocket installation at Peenemunde on 17 August, produced equally shocking results, or certainly according to the eye-witness account of another member of his squadron, Sergeant J. J. Minguy: Peenemunde was growing very "lively". On the ground, everything was going up and burning as it isnt possible. This was a mixture of flashes from the ground defences, which seemed to increase their firing in the same measure as we were raining them with bombs, and of explosions which were all more spectacular one from the other. It looked like coal burning - an inferno! Flames were of every colour possible - red, orange, green, blue and what not! Explosions succeeded one another at a rate that surpasses imagination (see Martin Middlebrooks Peenemunde Raid for further details). A little under a week later, Platts flew his first sortie to Berlin, the first of a remarkable total of 15 trips to the "Big City", a dozen of them virtually being flown in succession between mid-November and mid-February 1944 (i.e. at the height of what became known as the Battle of Berlin). Lucky indeed to survive this period of operations - Bomber Command lost nearly 500 aircraft in this offensive - he immediately flew a brace of trips to both Stuttgart and Frankfurt, followed by a final visit to Berlin and another to Nuremberg. He was, therefore, probably relieved to gain a posting to recently formed No. 582 Squadron in April 1944, a Pathfinder unit operating in Lancasters out of Little Staughton, if only because that units targets over the coming weeks were largely in France. Having been recommended for his D.F.M. in mid-May, Platts was posted out of No. 582 in late June; given the reference to him flying as "Marker" on 24 occasions in his recommendation, he must have been attached to another Pathfinder unit around the time of the Berlin offensive, most probably No. 7 Squadron, in which his ex-101 pilot, John Sexton, was commissioned and awarded a D.F.C.

A Great War Western Front M.C. group of four awarded to Major R. K. T. Nightingale, Lancashire Fusiliers Military Cross, G.V.R., reverse inscribed, Captain R. K. T. Nightingale, 4th Lanc. Fus. 1918; 1914-15 Star (Capt., Lan. Fus.); British War and Victory Medals, M.I.D. oak leaf (Major), mounted as worn, good very fine (4) £1000-1200 M.C. London Gazette 1 January 1918. M.I.D. London Gazette 20 December 1918. Ralph Kenneth Taylor Nightingale was born on 21 June 1893. He was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the 4th Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers in May 1911 and in December 1913 was advanced to Lieutenant. Promoted to Captain in October 1914, and attached to the 2nd Battalion, he entered the France/Flanders theatre of war on 26 November 1914. With the 2nd Battalion in the trenches near the village of Wieltje, the War Diary reports that there was heavy shelling of the position on 1 May 1915. The following day started quietly but at 4.00pm. a cloud of gas was seen drifting towards the British line. This new form of warfare caught the British unprepared (the first German gas attack was made on 22 April) and as the gas reached the line, the unprotected men were choked. At the same time the Germans opened up with heavy shrapnel, machine-gun and rifle fire. By the end of the day the Battalion had suffered 2 officers and 38 other ranks killed and 18 officer and 431 other ranks wounded or gassed. Captain Nightingale was one of the officers effected and was invalided to England. Upon his recovery he was posted to the Middle East, January-July 1916, serving in Egypt, holding the rank of Temporary Major. Returning then to France, July 1916-November 1918, he was attached to the 9th Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers. In March 1917 he was appointed a Staff Captain with the 33rd Infantry Brigade. In the latter part of the war he was mentioned in despatches and awarded the Military Cross. Listed as serving with the 4th Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers, he resigned his commission in May 1928. Entitled to the Silver War Badg. Sold with copied service papers, war diary and gazette extracts, m.i.c. etc.
