Flying Officer R E Watson Royal Air Force
The Man No information is currently available on R E Watson. The London Gazette only has one RAF Officer with these initials and he was a Wing Commander in the RAF VR, no mention of the VR(T).
It is possibly the same man, but no definitive link can be made to him serving subsequently in the Training Branch.
The Story The medals awarded to R E Watson were acquired from E-Bay on 1st December 2023 on a buy it now basis. The price was reasonable and the naming on the CFM is correct.
However, as detailed above, no confirmed information can be found on Watson, perhaps reflecting the price they were offered at.
