Unfortunately illness meant that our President, Air Marshal Cliff Spink and his wife Caroline were unable to join us this year. Cliff was going to tell those present about his Spitfire (pictured below). It is a Mk XVI with a clear view canopy. It was built in 1944 and is very much original, still with the same wings for example. It is powered by a Rolls Royce/Packard Merlin of 1600hp. The aircraft didn‟t see active service but did serve on several RAF squadrons including the RAuxAF. It is painted in the scheme of the 2nd Tactical Air Force which was worn between D Day and the advanced into Germany.

He was 83 and was laid to rest at Torquay Crematorium. Denzl was with the Tigers at the time of their transition from Spitfires to Meteors and we published a few of his stories about experiences with the new jet fighter in previous editions of Tiger News. Those of you who were at Duxford last September at the RAF ACE event will have had the privilege of meeting Denzl who was there with his son Robert. We also say goodbye to Jack Thornton who died in February aged 91. Jack was a Tiger between July 1941 (when they were at Acklington) and April 1946 and was a Fitter IIE (Repair and Inspection.) This was Jack’s only posting and when he was demobbed in 1946 he had attained the rank of Corporal. And to Sqn Ldr Peter Pressley AFC who was with 74 from September 1951 to October 1953 at RAF Horsham St Faith, serving as Flying Officer and then Flight Lieutenant on the squadron. Our collective thoughts are with the families of Denzl, Jack and Peter. Churchill’s Cortege. You may recall from previous Tiger News` that Canadian Associate Member Colin Musson has been trying to trace the names of The Few chosen to accompany Churchill’s coffin at his funeral.

Right – Bushell having a laugh (permission to use pic kindly given by 601 Sqn web site) Place of Birth; Springs, Transvaal, South Africa Place of Death; Saarbrücken, Germany Years of Service; 1932-1944 Rank; Squadron Leader Commands held; No. 92 Squadron RAF (1939-1940) Squadron Leader Roger Joyce Bushell RAF (30 August 1910 – 29 March 1944) was a South Africa born British Auxiliary Air Force pilot who organised and led the famous escape from the Nazi prisoner of war camp, Stalag Luft III. He was a victim of the Stalag Luft III murders. The escape was used as the basis for the film The Great Escape. The character played by Richard Attenborough, Roger Bartlett, is modelled on Roger Bushell. Birth and early life Bushell was born in Springs, Transvaal, South Africa on 30 August 1910 to English parents Benjamin Daniel and Dorothy Wingate Bushell (nee White). His father, a mining engineer, had emigrated to the country from England and he used his wealth to ensure that Roger received a first class education. He was first schooled in Johannesburg, then aged 14 went to Wellington College in Berkshire, England. In 1929, Bushell matriculated to Pembroke College, Cambridge to read law. Bushell was keen to pursue non-academic interests from an early age. Roger Bushell excelled in athletics and represented Cambridge in skiing. Skiing One of Bushell's passions and talents was skiing: in the early 1930s he was declared the fastest Briton in the male downhill category.

Arthur joined the Tigers in June 1940 and was with them until late 1941, serving as an LAC in the armament section. After 74 he joined Training Command at Harwell then Bomber Command at RAF Snaith. Following this he was at Leuchars, Turnberry and in 1943 at Limavady in Northern Ireland. As D Day approached Arthur was posted to Manston (where he had served with 74) but was then sent to India before being demobbed in 1946. He reinlisted in 1961 as an Aerospace Systems Operator serving at Trimingham, Hendon, Kenley, Stanmore Park, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Malta and West Drayton before leaving the RAF for a second time in 1976 with the rank of Sergeant. Of his time with 74 Arthur writes: "I joined 74 Squadron at RAF Hornchurch in early June 1940 when it had been busy with intruders over London and on escort duties over the Channel and that had been good training for what was about to happen. There had been plenty of activity and it was gradually increasing until the squadron was in the thick of it. We did not know it then but this was the start of the Battle of Britain.
