London Gazette 2.1.1950 Flight Lieutenant Colin Ian Blyth (199075), R.A.F., No. 6 Flying Training School, R.A.F. Tern Hill The Recommendation states: `During his two years at No. 6 Flying Training School, Flight Lieutenant Blyth has shown outstanding qualities as a Flying Instructor. Throughout a period of extensive re-organisation and expansion on the unit he has worked extremely hard and well, and has inspired his fellow instructors and the cadets by his example. He is always keen to get into the air, is an excellent pilot, and particularly specialises in bad weather flying, a practise at which he is expert. Owing to the shortage of instructors he has many times, by his own wish, remained on flying duty for periods far in excess of what is normally required. The example Flight Lieutenant Blyth has set by his keeness to fly in the difficult conditions and the quality of his instructional work are outstanding.` A.F.C.

(199075), Royal Air Force United States of America Air Medal London Gazette 30.10.1953 Flight Lieutenant Colin Ian Blyth, D.F.C., A.F.C. (199075), Royal Air Force `In recognition of valuable services rendered during operations in Korea` The Citation states: `Flight Lieutenant Colin I. Blyth performed acts of meritorious service while participating in sustained operations in support of United Nations activities in Korea. Flight Lieutenant Blyth participated in thirty operational flights during the period 2 March 1951 to 22 August 1951; in the course of these operations dive bombing, rocketing and strafing runs were made from dangerously low altitudes, destroying and damaging enemy installations and equipment. Through his ability, initiative and courage, Flight Lieutenant Blyth has brought great credit upon himself and the Royal Air Force.` Squadron Leader Colin Ian Blyth, D.F.C., A.F.C. (1925-2012), known throughout his life as Joe, was born in Maidstone and was educated at the local County School. He volunteered for aircrew duties in the RAF in 1940. He was 15 years old but had `stolen` his sister`s national insurance number allowing him to claim he was 18. He was accepted and started his training as a wireless operator/air gunner in November 1940. Second War - SOE In December 1940 Blyth joined No. 161 (Special Duties) Squadron and flew operations to drop agents and supplies into occupied Europe. On the night of 24th September 1942, his Whitley V Z9131 MA-Q piloted by Pilot Officer D.C. Boothby, `T/O Tempsford. Crashed near Sevigny-Waleppe (Ardennes), 23 km West Northwest of Rethel, France` (Royal Air Force Bomber Command Losses of the Second World War, refers). Of the crew of seven, one was killed, three were taken POW, and three (including Blyth) evaded capture. He headed south on foot and was helped by farmers. In Lyon he was picked up by the local escape line and moved to a `safe house` in Marseille where he came under the control of the Pat O`Leary Line. He assumed the false identity of one Gaston Emile Vanbach, a salesman from Toulouse. On 12th October he was taken by French Resistance couriers with 32 other evaders to Canet Plage near Perpignan. After a nerve-wracking wait on the beach, the party was transferred to the Polish-manned SOE felucca Seawolf, arriving in Gibraltar two days later. Shortly afterwards he returned to England. More detail is offered by Blyth`s Evader Report, jointly given with Pilot Officer Reed, `We came down together about 0130 hrs on 25th Sep. near Rheims. We were both uninjured. We hid our parachutes in a hedge and began walking S.E. We walked for two days, sleeping by day in the woods and walking at night. During this time we did not get any help from French people. When we got to the river Aisne we spoke to a farmer. We convinced him we were English he and took us to the Mayor of the village, who gave us food and civilian clothes and put us on a minor road to Rheims, warning us of the position of German A.A. units. After a time we left the road and went Southwards across country, bearing slightly East. View Terms & Conditions
