\n Pilot Officer Francis Charles Anthony LANNING (79580), Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve No. 141 Squadron.<\/em><\/span>
\n In May, 1941, Flying Officer Day and Pilot Officer Lanning were the pilot and air gunner respectively of an aircraft engaged in night fighting operations. Observing an enemy aircraft at about 1,000 feet below him, Flying Officer Day skilfully closed in to attack and enabled Pilot Officer Lanning to shoot down the raider. The same night, on further patrol, these officers destroyed another enemy aircraft. Flying Officer Day and Pilot Officer Lanning have carried out many night operational flights and both have displayed great courage and devotion to duty.<\/em><\/span>
