As flown by then Flt.Lt Robert Stanford Tuck, May 1940.

On May the 1st 1940, Robert Standford Tuck was posted to No 92 Squadron under the command of Squadron Leader Roger Bushel.
This gallant officer was to become legendry as “Big X” at Stalag Luft III and led the famous escape.
He was one of sixty executed by the Gestapo upon their recapture. Tuck was promoted to the rank of Flight Lieutenant and appointed
as a flight Commander by Bushell.
During the frenetic activity of the Dunkirk evacuation, Robert Stanford Tuck gained the first of his aerial victories, a Messerschmitt Bf-109,
on the morning of May 23rd, and added two Bf-110s during the afternoon.
Tuck was hit and forced to “dead stick” his battle-damaged Spitfire on to the grass verge in front of the Hornchurch control tower.

His personal score began to mount over the coming days. His bravery and skill was recognised, with the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross on June 11th.
His Majesty King George VI presented his award at a ceremony at Hornchurch, on June the 28th. It was to be the first of many meetings with royalty.
Tuck claimed 29 enemy aircraft destroyed and was a top RAF fighter legend.
