    • DFC Citation 05th March 1946:
      This officer has completed a highly successful tour of operations. This included many sorties against various objectives. Early in his tour during low-level attacks on a bridge on the 13th December 1944, his aircraft was attacked by an enemy fighter but by skilful manoeuvring and accurate fire he was able to destroy it. On another occasion on the 11th March 1945, when flyng over Rangoon, his aircraft was seriously damaged by enemy action. With great skill and determination he regained control and successfully brought his damaged aircraft back to base, where he made a safe landing. Throughout his career Flying Officer Haycock has shown outstanding keeness, skill and great devotion to duty. In the incident over Rangoon mentioned above the Flight Engineer repaired the rudder control cables with parachute cords. On landing 197 holes were counted in the fuselage. The aircraft was so badly damaged it did not fly again. Public - Kelvin - Researcher - 15 April 2022 - http://www.aircrewremembered.com/haycock-john-eustace.html
