His first exercise with this unit was on 30 May 1944 flying a Lancaster Mk2 (LL620) which was later lost in action by flack over Villers Bocaye, France. The target map included in the lot shows the Port of Le Havre which at the time was held by 11,000 German troops. It was attacked by Bomber Command in broad daylight with 313 Lancasters, including Tait and crew who completed their operation. A total of 1587 tons on bombs were dropped. The following day 311 Lancasters returned including Tait and dropped a further 1567 tons of bombs.

* Mosquito. Propeller tip attributed to Mosquito XVI NS795, the aircraft piloted by Flying Officer Raymond Morris Hays DFC and his Navigator Flight Sergeant Morgan Phillips, 544 Squadron were on a photo-reconnaissance sortie on the 16 March 1945 when their aircraft was attacked by enemy aircraft resulting in severe cannon and flak damage, Hays being awarded an immediate DFC, the propeller with yellow tip and severe damage, 77 cm longQTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: The propeller tip was purchased from an online auction. According to correspondence provided by the vendor the seller explains that she lived next door to Morgan Phillips as a child and he was a family friend. The seller then bought Phillips's house after he passed away and his "war items" were left in the house. The seller also provided a black and white photograph of Phillips in civilian clothes and also remembers a Phillips and "German pilot Rolf" meeting up after the war. It seems likely that this propeller tip was a war souvenir given to Phillips and once hung on his wall.An extract supplied by the vendor is included. 'A photo-reconnaissance sortie was made on 16 March by a Mosquito from No 544 Sqn RAF. The Mosquito XVI NS795, was flown by Flg Off R M Hays and Flt Sgt M Phillips based at RAF Benson. The squadron's operations log book recorded; Gotha and Lutzendorf targets photographed then attacked by three Me 163s. Aircraft shot up and landed Lille.' This brief entry was also in more detail; 'Flg Off R M Hays DFC and Flt Sgt M Phillips had targets at Gotha, Chemitiz and Lutzendorf. Subsequently, Lutzendorf and Gotha were claimed. At 1145 hrs, flying 30,000 feet making a photographic run (with the navigator in the nose of the aircraft) on course 090 degrees over Leipzig, the pilot saw two Me 163s practically at ground level and climbing rapidly. The pilot altered course 90 degrees and opened up fully. 'Within three to five minutes both enemy aircraft were at Mosquito height (30,000 feet) and split up, one to starboard and one to port and slightly above, from which positions they attacked the Mosquito simultaneously on either beam. The pilot did a half-roll and dived vertically, attaining an IAS of 480mph pulling out at 12,000 feet. The pilot then saw that three Me 163s were attacking, one either beam approximately 500 yards from the Mosquito and the third the same distance astern, and all enemy aircraft slightly above. The pilot did not see the enemy aircraft fire but the navigator did... as the Mosquito levelled off at deck level the pilot saw his starboard engines smoking and without power - presumably as a result of a hit by cannon shells from the Me 163s. This engine was then feathered and the pilot climbed to 2000 feet ... after approximately 30 to 40 minutes flying the navigator saw a single Me 109 approaching from 1000 yards astern ... The Mosquito then dived to deck level again and then flew up and down valleys ... during this evasive action the Me 109 lost sight and made no further contact. Approximately 45 minutes later the Mosquito crossed a small unidentified town and experienced intense flak - the Mosquito sustained hits and the navigator was injured in the foot. Shortly afterwards the pilot again climbed to 2000 feet to clear high ground and to take advantage of three-tenths/five-tenths prefrontal cloud (Cu). After flying for 30 minutes American C-47s and gliders were seen on the ground ... and the pilot decided to carry on... Mayday calls were made on all channels without result... the pilot was unaware that the starboard tyre was punctured by cannon shells and as soon as he touched down the aircraft swung violently to starboard, both port and starboard undercarriage legs collapsed, and the Mosquito was severely damaged. Inspection of the aircraft revealed damage by cannon shells - presumably from Me 163s . One shell passed through the starboard engine nacelle, another through the starboard engine near the boss ...A flak shell also hit the blade of the starboard propeller, spraying the fuselage and starboard engine with fragments.Flying Officer R M Hays was awarded an immediate DFC for this actionDFC London Gazette 24 April 1945 "This officer was the pilot of an aircraft detailed for a reconnaissance covering the Leipzig area in March 1945. Whilst over the target, two enemy fighters attempted to close in. Pilot Officer Hays took violent evading action. Much height was lost. At this stage another enemy aircraft joined the fight. Pilot Officer Hays manoeuvred with great skill and although his aircraft was hit he succeeded in evading the attackers. The starboard engine had been badly damaged but course was set for home. Later on the return flight the aircraft was attacked by another fighter. Pilot Officer Hays manoeuvred with superb skill. Although the aircraft sustained further damage and the navigator was wounded, this pilot succeeded in evading the fighter. He afterwards flew to a landing ground in Allied territory. This officer, who has completed many sorties, has consistently shown courage and resolution."
* An fine group of seven miniature dress awards attributed to Captain W. P. Townshend, Royal Naval Reserve, a recipient of the Russian Order of St. Anne and the Greek Navy Medal, the latter for his services as Master of the Empress of India in a gallant Bay of Biscay rescue in 19301914-15 Star, British War and Victory Medals with M.I.D. oakleaves, Royal Naval Reserve Decoration, G.V.R., silver, silver-gilt, Russian Order of St. Anne, 2nd class breast badge, gold and enamel, Greek Navy Medal, Republican issue, silver, Royal Humane Society Medal, in superb condition, with researchQTY: (7)NOTE:Provenance: Dixons Medals, Bridlington.William Pearson Townshend (1875-1949) was born in London. In January 1900, when serving as Third Officer in the P. & O’s S.S. Assaye, he won the Royal Humane Society’s Medal in bronze for attempting to save the life of a Private in the Hampshire Regiment who had fallen overboard in Cape Town harbour. He qualified for his Certificate of Competency in 1903 and was enrolled in the Royal Naval Reserve as a Lieutenant in 1907. He served in the cruiser H.M.S. Edgar, from June 1915 to May 1916 and saw active service in the Dardanelles. He subsequently commanded the Queen Victoria until the end of the War, gaining a mention in despatches in the Aegean for the period July to November 1918 (London Gazette 23 April 1919 refers). The recommendation states:‘He has rendered most valuable services as Senior Officer Net-Layers and Net-Repair Vessels and has carried out his work of net-laying and net-repairing with great skill and ability.’In June 1919, Townshend was assigned to special duties, and served as an Assistant Captain of Port / Harbour Master for six weeks at Constantinople, work that resulted in him receiving a favourable endorsement on his service record that August. He was awarded the Russian Order of St. Anne on 23 November 1920 (his service record refers) and received advancement to Commander in the following month.Placed on the Retired List in June 1922, he returned to his pre-war duties as a Master in the P. & O. Line, and won further accolades - namely the Greek Navy Medal - while in command of the Empress of India 1930-31:‘As regards the rescue of the greater part of the crew of the Greek steamer Theodoros Bulgaria in the Bay of Biscay by the Viceroy of India, under the command of Captain W. P. Townshend, the Greek Minister in London, in replying to a letter from the Guild, requests the Secretary convey to the Captain, and through him to those members of the crew who took part in the rescue work, an expression of his great appreciation of their ‘courageous and gallant action’ on this occasion. It will be remembered that the Viceroy of India picked up the S.O.S. of the Greek steamer and at once proceeded at full speed towards the position indicated. After eight hours of hard steaming through heavy seas, the liner reached the stricken ship. Captain Townshend deemed it advisable to use oil to break the force of the seas, and a lifeboat was eventually launched from the Viceroy of India under the command of the Third Officer, Mr. C. S. Cook. The distressed vessel was lying low in the water with a list of about 40 degrees, and with the sea sweeping over her. It was only with the greatest difficulty that 19 men were eventually hauled through the seas to the boat by means of a lifeline, and ultimately the remaining 13 men on board succeeded in lowering one of their lifeboats and safely reached the Viceroy of India (Lloyd’s List, 12 January 1931 refers).Townshend, who had been advanced to Captain, R.N.R. was placed on the Retired List in December 1925.Captain Townshend's full size medals (minus the Royal Humane Society medal were sold at DNW (now Noonan's) on 7 March 2007, lot 847.
