London Gazette 31 May 1916: ‘For conspicuous gallantry and skill. When on patrol duty with Second Lieut., Lord Doune, he sighted a Fokker machine 1,000 feet below them. Second Lieut. Lord Doune at once dived, and when within 60 yards, Second Lieut. Walker opened fire. Lord Doune then headed straight for the Fokker, which had to rise steeply to avoid a collision. Second Lieuts. Walker and Lord Doune then both opened fire and shot away one wing of the Fokker, which fell behind our lines.’ Robert Verschoyle Walker was born in December 1893, and was a ‘young Ulster officer in the Royal Flying Corps.... in bringing down a German Fokker, with the aid of Sec.-Lieut. Lord Doune, the eldest son of the Earl of Moray, is described in last evening’s Gazette. Both officers have been awarded the Military Cross.... Sec.-Lieut. Walker, who has received this distinction, is the second son of Mr Henry Walker, of Mayo, Cootehill, and Strand Road, Londonderry (formerly of Falcarragh). When the war broke out he was mathematical master at “Normandale”. Bexhill-on-Sea. He enlisted early in 1915, and in November of that year received a commission in the 6th Batt. Connaught Rangers, from which he shortly afterwards transferred to the Royal Flying Corps. Lord Doune, his companion in his gallant mid-air feat, is 24 years of age, and a student of Cambridge University.’ (Belfast Evening Telegraph May 1916 refers) The Fokker concerned was piloted by Baron Von Saal Saalfield, the son of the Prince of Saxony, and he was killed during the action. Walker was posted for operational service as an Observer to 25 Squadron (FE2b’s) in France in March 1916. The above combat took place over Hulluch, however, the pairing were not so lucky on 4 June 1916. On the latter date Walker’s aircraft was hit by anti-aircraft fire, and forced down at Essars. Lord Doune escaped unscathed, but Walker suffered wounds to his face. Having recuperated from his wounds, Walker was gazetted Flying Officer (Observer), 12 June 1916, and was posted for instructional duties. He was injured serving in that capacity at 42 TS in the UK, 31 October 1917. He was discharged in April 1919. Walker and McClelland were related by marriage.

Lot 139
A fine and poignant Battle of Britain Fighter Ace’s D.F.C., A.F.C. group of seven awarded to Spitfire pilot, Squadron Leader T. S. ‘Wimpy’ Wade, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve - undoubtedly a character, and respected by his contemporaries as one of 92 Squadron’s most capable pilots. Joining the Squadron at the same time as Brian Kingcome and Geoffrey ‘Boy’ Wellum, Wade went on to form a close friendship with another of the Squadron’s Aces - Tony Bartley. Wade’s ability in the air was reflected by the number of his victories, damaged, shared or otherwise, but his aggression and willingness to get close in and take risks was also reflected by the number of times he had to make a forced-landing or was shot down after a ‘dogfight’. In total - on 5 separate occasions, 3 of which occurred during the Battle - including his narrowest escape, when waiting upside down in a Spitfire which he expected to catch fire, on Lewes Race Course, having been shot down by cross-fire from a formation of Dornier 17s.... Wade was subsequently employed as Chief Test Pilot to Hawker Aircraft, and after multiple dices with death during the war, he finally succumbed to a peace time test flight, and was killed whilst flying a Hawker P 1081 over Sussex, 3 April 1951 Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated ‘1941’; Air Force Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated ‘1944’; 1939-45 Star, 1 clasp, Battle of Britain; Air Crew Europe Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; Air Efficiency Award, G.VI.R., 1st issue (Act. Sqn. Ldr. T. S. Wade. R.A.F.V.R.) mounted court-style for wear, generally good very fine (7) £50,000-£70,000 --- D.F.C. London Gazette 16 July 1941: ‘This officer has displayed great skill and determination in his numerous engagements with the enemy and has destroyed at least 6 of their aircraft. His efforts have contributed materially to the successes achieved by the squadron.’ The original recommendation states: ‘This officer has been engaged continually in operational flying since May 1940, and has proved to be a pilot of skill and determination and has contributed much to the success of his squadron. He has destroyed 6 enemy aircraft, shared in the destruction of 2 more making his total destroyed 6 and 3/4 and has probably destroyed a further 6.’ A.F.C. London Gazette 1 September 1944. The original recommendation states: ‘This officer has been commanding officer at this unit since October 1943, and previously was Flight Commander in the Fighter Wing of the Central Gunnery School, from its formation in August 1941. During his whole career, he has shown conspicuous devotion to duty and outstanding flying ability. He has been largely responsible for the success of the school in improving marksmanship throughout Fighter Command. In particular, he has completed very close formation flying with another Spitfire aircraft, in order to make aimed releases of 500lb bombs in 60 and 70 to provide photographic evidence to clear this type of aircraft for operations in these conditions. His enthusiasm and efficiency have always been of the highest order.’ Trevor Sydney Wade was born in 1920, and educated at Tonbridge School. He joined the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve in 1938, and carried out pilot training at No. 19 E. & R.F.T.S., Gatwick. Wade was called up at the outbreak of the Second World War, and commissioned in April 1940. He was posted for operational flying with 92 Squadron (Spitfires), and joined the Squadron during it’s recuperation after a mauling in the Battle of France and covering the evacuation from Dunkirk. Tony Bartley [see lot********] records Wade’s arrival at the Squadron along with some other notable characters: ‘May 26th [1940]... Brian Kingcome moved in with his bulldog ‘Zeke’. They looked and acted somewhat alike. Two other recruits were Geoffrey Wellum and Wimpy Wade. Geoff was 18 years old and very unsure of himself. Wimpy borrowed my Spitfire to get in some more time on the type, and straightaway slow rolled it at nought feet over the airfield, so was forthwith accepted in our league.’ (Smoke Trails in the Sky refers) The Squadron had lost two Flight Commanders and the Squadron Leader, Roger Bushell, over Calais on 23 May 1940. Kingcome was posted to 92 Squadron as Flight Commander, and he revelled in the spirit and personalities of his new Spitfire Squadron, ’To my mind 92 Squadron always had the special ingredient which sets certain people or groups apart from the rest - a small, indefinable quality in the alchemy that gives an edge, a uniqueness. This quality can never be duplicated or planned for, but somehow it comes into being and is aptly called ‘spirit’. It always begins at the top, and 92’s exceptional spirit undoubtedly had its origins in the outstanding personalities of the original squadron and flight commanders. It then continued to flourish in the fertile soil of the rich mix of characters who made up this exceptional fighting unit: determined, committed young men, intent on squeezing the last drop of living from whatever life might be left to them at the same time as they refused to take themselves or their existence too seriously. They came from all walks of life... there was Neville Duke and ‘Wimpy’ Wade, both outstanding airmen who survived the war with distinguished and much-decorated careers and became household names as test pilots. There was also Allan Wright, an ex-Cranwell cadet, extremely bright and professorial even in those far-off days, but a determined and successful pilot, and then the youngest of them all Geoff Wellum, aged 17 and known as ‘Boy’ because of his age. And there were Don Kingaby and ‘Titch’ Havercroft, two of the R.A.F.’s most successful NCO pilots, both of whom finished up as Wing Commanders, Don having a unique distinction in earning a D.S.O... and three D.F.M.s... Above all, there was Bob Tuck, extrovert and flamboyant... In the air he was a total professional, none was more highly respected.’ (A Willingness to Die, B. Kingcome refers) The Battle of Britain The Squadron was withdrawn to Pembrey for a rest on convoy patrols. Wade shared in the Squadron’s frustration at this prospect, and thought that they ‘languished in South Wales.’ They also carried out Night Patrols, and on one such occasion Wade found himself in a spot of bother over Swansea Bay. Met with awful weather conditions and R/T failure, he was forced to bale out over Exeter, 28 July 1940. His Spitfire, N 3287, crashed two miles south-west of Chudleigh. Wade moved with ‘A’ Flight to Bibury: ‘At the beginning of August and to our disgust and despondency A Flight was moved to Bibury and put mainly on night fighter patrols. This was the last straw, when every day we heard on the news what our old friends in 11 Group were doing in the front line. Bibury was a pretty little Cotswold village, and a great contrast to the sordidness of Llanelly. We were billeted in an old coaching house that belonged to a widow who trained racehorses. The second day after we arrived, we were attacked, without warning by a Junkers 88. I [Tony Bartley] had just finished a luncheon sandwich, and was watching what I had thought was an Oxford trainer circle the airfield, when, to my horror, it dived down at our dispersal point, machine guns blazing. A stream of bullets ploughed into the ground behind my heels as I dived into a ditch, while a stick of bombs came tumbling out of its belly. I lay mesmerised by the falling projectiles, and could not take my eyes off them until they disappeared into the gr...
