You're Top Poster: #3  |  Gr-pilots Colin Falkland Gray Rank : Group Captain Medals : D.S.O. and bar / D.F.C. and 3 bars Planes Flown : Spitfire Mk1 Born : New Zealand Group Captain Colin Falkland Gray was a New Zealander who came to England in December 1938. Gray joined the RAF in January 1939 then moved to No 54 Squadron on the 20th of November 1939 to fly the Spitfire I on fighter sweeps over France. His score rose quickly twice getting two kills in a day and, on the 18th of August 1940 he destroyed four Me 110's. During the Battle of Britain he shot down two enemy aircraft in a day on several occasions to give him a personal total at the end of the Battle of 16 confirmed and eight probables. He retired in April 1961 to return to business life in New Zealand.

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
