London Gazette 1.5.1942 Acting Flight Lieutenant Norman Carter Macqueen (866689), Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No. 249 Squadron `This officer carried out a large number of sorties over enemy-occupied territory and destroyed I` [sic] enemy aircraft whilst based in this country. In the Middle East he has destroyed 4 hostile aircraft. Throughout his operational career Flight Lieutenant Macqueen has rendered most valuable service. He has displayed great skill and leadership.` Flight Lieutenant Norman Carter Macqueen DFC, RAFVR (1920-42), born in Leamore, West Midlands, educated at Fettes College, Edinburgh (1933-38), joined the Royal Air Force as Aircraftsman 2nd Class (Rhyl 1939), various promotions, Commissioned Pilot Officer 12.11.1940, served with 610, 602 and 249 (Gold Coast) Squadron, stationed at Ta Kali, Malta as part of Operation Spotter, in his very short career Macqueen was credited as one of the Malta Fighter aces with 7 confirmed enemy aircrafts downed and scores of assisted and damaged. Macqueen was killed in action on 4th May 1942 when his Spitfire nosedived, an account in the Malta War Diary records `RAF fighter pilots at Ta Qali had to watch helplessly as one of their comrades was jumped by a German fighter this afternoon. Flight Lieutenant Norman Macqueen was one of eight Spitfire pilots scrambled to intercept a heavily protected formation of Italian bombers attacking Grand Harbour. He was heading back towards Ta Qali from where his comrades watched as he was jumped by a Messerschmitt fighter `Norman was flying with another Spitfire and about to attack some 109s, when we saw a 109 sweep across the sky behind him. Vainly we shouted, `Turn! Spit!` as if there was some hope that he might hear us. But evidently neither of them saw the 109 and just kept straight on. We saw the 109`s tracer going right into Norman`s machine. His spitfire lurched and gave up a thin smoke trail. For some time it seemed to be under control and circled downwards as if he hoped to land. Then suddenly the nose went forward, and the machine dived like a stone into the ground, bursting into flames as it hit`, Macqueen is buried in Kalkara Cemetery, Malta.

Unbeknown to the rest of the pilots, two Pilot Officers managed to take up a pair of reserve aircraft and followed in the distance, later these aircrafts were mistaken for ME109s which resulted in the death of one of Pilot Officers, Group Captain Lucking was removed from his post as CO of 56 Squadron. This tragic affair became known throughout Fighter Command as the Battle of Barking Creek. (5)
