WASHINGTON'S AIR HEROES
Wings campaign opened
The man most in the thoughts of the people of Washington when they opened their Wings for Victory week to-day was Sergt. E. Durham, one of the two airmen from the village to receive the D.F.M. decoration, who had been expected to support Commander R. G. Kellett. D. 5.0.. D F.C.. at the saluting base at the War Memorial. Wing Commander R. G. Kellett is also a Washington man. Sergt. Durham, whose citation mentioned "his cool determination when attacking targets has contributed much to the success achieved by his crew." is now reported missing from a recent operation. The other airman. Fl.-Sergt. R. C. Glew has been recalled duty.

TEN SPITFIRES TARGET
Washington's target is £50.000 for ten Spitfires and the exploits of airmen Durham and Glew will provide incentive subscribers to hit the target with resounding crash and no doubt, exceed it.

At the opening ceremony, there was an exchange of plaques between Commander G. F. Bradshaw. D.S.O., R N., and Councillor W. Haskett of the Washington U.D. Council, to commemorate the adoption of H.M.S. Sarabande by the inhabitants of Washington. Sir Arthur Lambert, North Regional Commissioner, supported by Mr. J. J. Lawson.
