Ronald George Brown. (128366) I have the honour to recommend the above named officer for the A.F.C. in recognition of his work in 1402 Meteorological Flight as Pilot of the high altitude ascent Spitfires for the past year. During this time he has made 250 ascents to 40,000 ft. frequently under the most adverse weather conditions imaginable. In one period of three months he made 90 ascents, not missing a single day, although in many cases visibility at take-off and landing was practically nil. In spite of the heavy strain imposed on him by this intensity of work, his cheerfulness and keenness to fly set a high example to the remainder of the Flight. All these ascents have been made in a Spitfire VI, in which the difficulties of the Pilot include nil forward visibility in rain, and the fact the hood of the pressure cabin remains locked in the position throughout the sortie. It is solely due to the Keenness and zeal of this officer, that the Prata sortie has been completed with such unfailing regularity, since for long periods no other qualified Spitfire pilots were available for the bad whether sorties. The fact that meteorological reports arising from the sortie have been available every day during the past year has been made possible only by the selfless devotion to duty of F/O. Brown, who has never allowed consideration of personal safety to prevent him from flying. His ability as a Pilot is of the highest order, and this is amply demonstrated by the fact that, in spite of having made well over 350 flights during the year, on no occasion has he damaged and aircraft in any way”.Ronald George Brown Enlisted into the RAFVR on the outbreak of war, and immediately commenced his flying training. His first operational squadron was 48 squadron, where he flew Anson’s in Anti/Submarine and convoy patrols from August 1940 to the end of January 1941. From 48 squadron, Brown commenced training in Spitfires and was transferred to No 1 Photographic Reconnaissance Unit in March 1941, flying his first operation on the 19th March, a Photo recce mission to Caen and two days later another mission to the cape de la Hague. Flying no less than 65 photo recon Missions, to targets such as the Dortmund-ems canal, Copenhagen, Bergen, Oslo, Lannion, St. Malo among many others. After other postings, Brown was transferred to 1402 Meteorological Flight based at Aldegrove, where He was a high altitude spitfire Pilot and made no less than 350 flights whilst with the Unit, with an unblemished crash record. Because of his behaviour, skill and devotion to duty to duty in this period, that Brown was awarded the Air Force Cross. Brown Continued to fly with the RAF until August 1947.
