Stumbled across this piece of history that was entirely new to me. Simply AMAZING:

Alan Arnett McLeod - Wikipedia

What a tragedy that he was taken by the 1918 flu pandemic, and at such a young age.

Makes me want to find a kit of the Big Ack and paint it in the markings of McLeod's and Hammond's aircraft.

There was a photo, though I can't find it now frustratingly, of 4 - 5 men standing together on a trench top from WW! and every one of them had the VC.
