\n 948247 Flight Sergeant David Ellis BLOCKLEY, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No 76 Squadron.<\/em><\/span>
\n This officer and airman were pilot and rear gunner respectively of an aircraft detailed to attack Nuremberg one night in March, 1944. On the outward flight, Flight Sergeant Blockley sighted a fighter coming in to attack and promptly warned his pilot. Coolly and skilfully, Flying Officer Sinclair manoeuvred to a good position from which Floght Sergeant Blockley delivred a burst of machine gun fire which hit the enemy aircraft, causing it to explode. Flying Officer Sinclair then resumed his course to the target and executed a successful attack. This officer and airman displayed much skill and excellent co-operation and proved themselves to be valiant members of aircraft crew. They are completed many sorties.<\/em><\/span>
