·This is one of my favourite Conquest ... Can't really explain why. Not the best dial, but it just appeals to me, and a super sharp case

·I love these first gen Longines Czechoslovakian issued pilot watches. Only gen 1 participated in the Battle of Britain and Dunkirk. 88 pilots are known to have flown in the RAF in the Battle of Britain. These secret missions reports are original wing reports that include Squadron 310 and 312. Both were RAF Czech Spitfire fighter squadrons. These are original documents printed on paper from the British government office on the combat in the Ramrod campaign to clear out German air support over the coast line of France in preparation for D-Day. Major Hazelrigg was responsible for reporting to the RAF Fighter Command.
These medals are correct Czechoslovakian medals issued to the Armies Abroad = pilots fighting in the RAF. One medal is the Dunkirk medal. The cloth RAF wings are 1940 issued. The brass badges are British made Czech Pilot wings issued to the RAF Czech squadrons. The bars on the Czech medal says in Czech "Great Britain" and France for participation in Battle of France and Battle of Britain. Both the Polish and Czech pilots are credited with among the highest kill ratios. It is thought without these two countries teaching and training the far too predictable and conventional British, England would have lost the war.
' Secret ' report details Ramrod operations undertaken by Spitfires and Marauders over France and Typhoons over coast of Northern France. Gives details of the results of the raids, squadrons involved, casualties, enemy reactions and activity with extensive coverage of Polish and Canadian squadrons. The report has the pencilled name of Major Hazelrigg to the front cover.
T/ Major Thomas Heron Hazelrigg was born at Noseley Hall, Leics son of Lord Hazelrigg. He was a member of the RAF reserve and commissioned into the Leicestershire Yeomanry, Royal Artillery - Territorial Army and thus an excellent liaison officer. Interesting survivor which would bear further research. --worldmilitarycollectables.com
