During a mission, his plane was shot down off the coast of Libya where he swam to the coastline. He was then captured and sent to a POW camp in Italy. He made 5 escape attempts, once eluding capture for 8 days even though he was conspicuous with an eye patch and did not speak Italian.

He was awarded the British Distinguished Service Order, the Victoria Cross and many more awards.
.
He summarized his experiences in these words: “Frankly, I enjoyed the war”. #hardfuckapproved
