Distinguished Flying Cross,Distinguished Flying Medal Germany (Dams) 1943 (DFM) London Gazette 14.4.1944 (DFC) " DFC Citation: “Joint Citation for the Dam Busters raid on the Moehne, Eder and Scorpe Dams in Germany on the night of 16th May 1943, with the award of the DSO to Acting Flight Lieutenant D J Shannon (1), and Pilot Officer L G Knight (2), a bar to the DFC of Acting Flight Lieutenant J F Leggo (3), the DFC to Flight Lieutenant R C Hay (4) to Pilot Officer C L Howard (5) and Pilot Officer F M Spafford DFM and the DFM to Flight Sergeant T D Simpson (6). On the night of 16th May 1943, a force of Lancaster bombers was detailed to attack the Moehne, Eder and Scorpe dams in Germany. The operation was one of great difficulty and hazard, demanding a great degree of skill and courage and close cooperation between the crews of the aircraft engaged. Nevertheless a telling blow was struck at the enemy by the successful breaching of the Moehne and Eder dams. This outstanding success reflects the greatest credit on the efforts of the following personnel who participated in the operation in various capacities as members of aircraft crews. (London Gazette 28/5/1943 P2361)

'Landunna', 111 Hutt St Adelaide, was purchased by Harry Nott, in 1923 after his return from the UK. Having studied radiology after the War's end in London, he returned to Adelaide and purchased 'Landunna' which had been built in 1873. He established Adelaide's first radiology practice in a front room of the house. When WW2 broke out, he sold the house and its new owner turned it into a Guest House and took down the magnificent verandas and renamed the house 'Ulysses'. Later in WW2 it was used as a US Army Officers Club. It was acquired by the Naval Military & Air Force Officers Club in 1957.
