Looking at the first two replies, which mirror my own thoughts, why have more people not heard of Wing Commander Warburton?
Much time spent in a lesser known theatre of war, perhaps? Bader fought in the Battle of Britain, Gibson was a Dambuster – Malta, by comparison, is a bit of a sideshow in the eyes of many who should know better.
The school playing field is named for Bader – though if James Holland’s account in “Fortress Malta” is correct, he probably spent far more time on the sports field than Warburton!
