It is with great sadness that we have learned of Dixie’s death on Sunday 12th of February at the age of 96. Our condolences to his family and friends.
Dixie served with 249 during the battle of Britain while the squadron was based at North Weald. He later served with distinction with special forces. He recently received the Legion of Honour from the French Government.
He will be greatly missed at our Reunions.

Sleep with your colleagues Dixie, a stall awaits you at the celestial bar where the scramble bell fell silent a long time ago. Now just time to catch up old memories with so many of your friends who have become this countries history. You helped put the name Great infront of Britain and will my friend never be forgotten for the part you played in bringing us victory. It was an immense privilege knowing you and sharing in the many stories you related of your time at North Weald ….Rest in Peace Dixie , PUGNIS ET CALCIBUS – WITH FISTS AND HEELS ….Lest we forget.
