Distinguished Flying Medal. N.Z.405487 Flight Sergeant William Leonard HARVEY, Royal New Zealand Air Force, No. 149 Squadron. One night in February, 1943, Flying Officer Drummond and Flight Sergeant Harvey were captain and wireless operator respectively of an aircraft detailed for a mine-laying mission in an area close in to shore. During the run-in, the aircraft was subjected to considerable searchlight activity and intense opposing fire which raked the bomber from front to rear. Much damage was sustained and three of the crew were hit, including Flight Sergeant Harvey, who suffered a deep wound in the head. Despite this, Flying Officer Drummond held on his course and released his mines exactly as planned. On the return flight, Flight Sergeant Harvey, although in pain and bleeding profusely, remained at his post, continuing his duties. He obtained a number of fixes and bearings which proved of great assistance to his captain who eventually flew the badly damaged aircraft to base. Both these members of aircraft crew, who have completed many sorties, have always displayed great determination, skill and devotion to duty”. A George Alfred Patrick of No149 Squadron was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross in June 1943.

SRH36955*One-of-a-kind Silver Shadow II*Bespoke acrylic 'Brewster Green' paint scheme*Large history folder with main dealer service historyThe Silver Shadow one owner car is one of the most important and iconic vehicles ever produced by Rolls-Royce.

The beige roof was also completely bespoke, and was designed to give the car a look similar to that of a convertible. To this day the combination of the green and beige still present very well.
