The signature of Air Marshal Sir Ivor Broom KCB CBE DSO DFC AFC (deceased)

Air Marshal Sir Ivor Broom KCB CBE DSO DFC AFC (deceased)
*Signature Value : £50

Entering the RAF in 1940 he joined No 114 Squadron as a sergeant pilot flying Blenheims. After 12 operations he and his crew were allocated to No 105 Squadron and then No 107 Squadron, the last remaining Blenheim Squadron in Malta. The Squadron remained there without relief for five months carrying out low level attacks on the shipping. Very few of the original crews survived the detachment, in fact he was commissioned during this period, when 107 Squadron had lost all their officers and for a short time was the only officer, other than the CO, in the Squadron. At the end of this tour he was awarded the DFC. In early 1943 he became one of the first Mosquito instructors in the Pathfinder Force and later moved to No 571 Squadron with the Light Night Strike Force. He then formed No 163 Squadron as acting Wing Commander. He was awarded a bar to his DFC for a low level moonlight mining attack on the Dormund - Ems Canal from 50ft and then a second bar for getting a 4000lb bomb into the mouth of a railway tunnel during the final German Ardennes offensive. During his time on Mosquitoes his navigator was Tommy Broom, together they formed an inseparable combination. Remaining with the RAF after WWII and in accordance with peacetime rules for a much smaller Air Force he was reduced in rank first to Squadron Leader and then to Flight Lieutenant in 1948. Promoted to Air Marshal in 1974 he became the Head of the UK National Air Traffic Services and was the first serving officer to be appointed to the Board of the Civil Aviation Authority. Retiring from the RAF in 1979 he has been actively engaged in civil aviation since then. He died 24th January 2003.
The signature of Wing Commander Joe Singleton DSO DFC AFC

Wing Commander Joe Singleton DSO DFC AFC
*Signature Value : £40

Wing Commander Joseph Singleton DSO DFC AFC was one of the top scoring night fighter aces of the Second World War. He was credited with 7 enemy aircraft destroyed, 3 damaged and a V-1 missile destroyed. Wing Commander Singleton flew the Mosquito in both the offensive and defensive role. During the latter, his more notable engagements included on the night of 20 March 1944, while flying a Mosquito he intercepted and destroyed three Ju88s in a matter of minutes. The three aircraft were the lead pathfinders of a much larger bomber force heading for the city of Hull. The downing of these three aircraft effectively put an end to the success of the enemy raid. His own aircraft was so severely damaged by flying debris from the destroyed aircraft that he had to make a forced landing some 3 miles short of the runway at RAF Coltishall. For this exploit he was awarded an immediate DSO. In 1947 Wing Commander Singleton took command of No.25 Squadron and was awarded the AFC in June that year. After leaving No.25 Squadron in October 1948 he held a number of ground appointments before retiring in 1958. In retirement he was an active member of the No.25 Squadron Association, the Mosquito Aircrew Association and was the President of the local branch of the Royal Air Force Association.
