| Note | A Well-merited Honour IT was announced last Tuesday that Captain R. C. O. Lovelock, D.F.C., has received the Queen's Commendation for Valuable Service in the Air. The award is in recognition of the skilful forced landing which Capt. Lovelock executed in France on July 23rd, when an Airwork Hermes IV, which he was flying on a trooping service from Blackbushe to Malta, with 54 soldiers and six aircrew on board, lost its starboard outer airscrew. The starboard inner was also put out of action. The pilot put the aircraft down in a field, skilfully avoiding a number of obstacles, and all the occupants were able to escape before the outbreak of a fire which destroyed the aircraft. The fact that the Hermes cabin was fitted with rearward-facing seats no doubt contributed to the fortunate outcome. Captain Raymond Colin Oswald Lovelock, now 40 years of age, started his career in the Merchant Navy and joined the Royal Air Force in 1936. During the war he commanded flying-boat, coastal Beaufighter and Mosquito squadrons; his D.F.C. was awarded in March, 1943. On demobilization he chose civil aviation as a career in preference to continuing with a permanent commission. He joined Airwork in 1947 as first officer and was promoted to captain in 1948. He is now Flight Commander of 622 Squadron, R.Aux.A.F. (Airwork's squadron), thus maintaining his interest in Service aviation. He has over 7,000 hours in his log-book. Married, and with two children, Capt. Lovelock lives at Fleet, Hampshire. Readers may recall that during the past few years he has contributed a number of articles on civil aviation subjects to our pages. Published in ‘Flight’ magazine, 19 December 1952 |
