Hey all,
I've been looking at the 38 Group website, and 196 Squadron's OC in January 1946, W/C J. Blackburn, DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar, DFC (US) flew the record of 5 operational tours (150 missions) during World War Two.
Guy Gibson flew 175, but I think when he was seconded to the "Dambusters", he was on his third tour.
