| I had the honour to sit next to Wg Cdr John Freeborn DFC* at an ACA dinner at RAF Woodvale. A very interesting man who flew more hours during the Battle than many (if any); few (if any) shot down more German aircraft during the Battle. He was in command of a Spitfire Wg in Italy at an early age; one of the youngest (if not the youngest) wartime wg cdr Spitfire pilot. It was a delight to have him on my station.
