Wing Commander Adrian Warburton....
Wing Commander Adrian Warburton when Officer Commanding No. 683 Squadron RAF at Luqa, Malta. Below his decorations (DSO, DFC and 2 bars), on his left breast pocket, Warburton wears "The Order of the Winged Boot", an unofficial award given to airmen who had been shot down and forced to return to their base on foot or by other means. Warburton became one of the most successful and best-known aerial-reconnaissance pilots of the Second World War while flying sorties from Malta and North Africa in 1941-1943.
