Distinguished Flying Cross
Acting Flight Lieutenant Richard GUTHRIE (155236), R.A.F.V.R., 181 Sqn.
Flight Lieutenant Guthrie has executed many sorties, mostly against heavily defended areas. In July, 1944. he led his section in two attacks on gun positions in the Borquebus area. In spite of the. most intense anti-aircraft fire, Flight Lieutenant Guthrie pressed home his attack with the greatest determination. Although his aircraft sustained damage he flew it to base. He is a brave and skilful pilot.
