| Notatki | Distinguished Flying Medal awarded to Flying Officer NZ401791 Onslow Waldo Thompson. Onslow Thompson was serving as Pilot Officer with 107 Squadron when he was awarded the DFM ion April 1942. His citation read- "This airman has completed 43 sorties. During these operations he has attacked a variety of targets, obtaining hits on warehouses at Catanzaro, destroying a number of lorries on attack on Soveranto. He took part in a second attack on a 10,000 ton enemy merchant ship which resulted in its complete abandonment. On another occasion he attacked a heavily laden merchant vessel off Tripoli - the vessel subsequently sank. This airman has shown able leadership and great determination in pressing home his attacks." Onslow Thompson served with the RAF-RNZAF during WW2, receiving his initial training in New Zealand, having enlisted at Initial Training Wing Levin on 2 July 1940 as Airman Pilot under training. He served with 107 Squadron in the Mediterranean as Flying Officer when awarded the DFM. Onslow was subsequently killed in action on 1 May 1943 while flying with 105 Squadron, Bomber Command. Cause of death- air crash, due to engine failure on a Mosquito BIV DK338-0. He is buried at Marham Royal Air Force Cemetery, Norfolk, (Memorial Name- Cross of Sacrifice).

Unfortunately, the port propeller was feathered in error, causing the bomber to stall and crash 1-4 mile SW of the airfield. Both crew died, the pilot being buried at Marham. It was found that the engine had cut because the main fuel cock had not been fully turned on. Shortly after the accident the raid was abandoned because of cloud cover over the target.
