  • Winkie Dm 1 Pdsa Dickin Medal Winkie Dm 1
    WINKIE DM 1 PDSA DICKIN MEDAL WINKIE DM 1 “For delivering a message under exceptionally difficult conditions and so contributing to the rescue of an Air Crew while serving with the RAF in February, 1942.” Date of Award: 2 December 1943 WINKIE’S STORY Carrier pigeon, Winkie, received the first PDSA Dickin Medal from Maria Dickin on 2 December 1943 for the heroic role she played in saving the lives of a downed air crew. The four-man crew’s Beaufort Bomber ditched in the sea more than 100 miles from base after coming under enemy fire during a mission over Norway. Unable to radio the plane’s position, they released Winkie and despite horrendous weather and being covered in oil, she made it home to raise the alarm. Home for Winkie was more than 120 miles from the downed aircraft. Her owner, George Ross, discovered her and contacted RAF Leuchars in Fife to raise the alarm. “DESPITE HORRENDOUS WEATHER AND BEING COVERED IN OIL SHE MADE IT HOME ...” Although it had no accurate position for the downed crew, the RAF managed to calculate its position, using the time between the plane crashing and Winkie’s return, the wind direction and likely effect of the oil on her flight speed. They launched a rescue operation within 15 minutes of her return home. Following the successful rescue, the crew held a celebration dinner in honour of Winkie’s achievement and she reportedly ‘basked in her cage’ as she was toasted by the officers. Winkie received her PDSA Dickin Medal a year later.

This was the first burn of its kind in modern Marin County, being held on private land and led by a non-government entity. The burn was a resounding success. Our 99-years- young founder, Dr. Martin Griffin, even did us the great honor of igniting the start of our test burn; it was a reverent scene to say the least. We had representation and support from so many great partners, including: •Marin County Fire, Golden Gate National Recreation Area Fire (GGNRA), Founder Dr. Marty Griffin lighting off the unit with Bolinas Fire District, Central Marin Fire and Stinson Beach Volunteer Fire Fire Forward Director Sasha Berleman and Burn Department; •Crew of highly-trained wildland fire-qualified volunteers coming from a range of backgrounds including State Parks, Resource Conservation District, UC Berkeley’s Wildland Fire Science Lab and Forestry Department, San Jose State Meteorology Lab, Wildlands Conservancy, Pepperwood Preserve, private ranchers and landowners/managers; •An impressive team of ACR staff to support with logistics (including feeding of fifty people, parking, check-in, parking management, etc.) and assist on the fire line (running the pump and operating our water- pumping capable side-by-side). — continues on pages 7, 8 A Look at What’s Inside Reflections on the A Wild Ride to the A Closer Look at Bourne Ridge Need A Good Winter A Winter Dinner Fall Season Farallon Islands Fall Hiking Controlled Burn Read?
