Isn’t it incredible what turns up even seventy years after the Battle-of-Britain!

The citation for Squadron Leader Kellett in the London Gazette of 1st Oclober 1940 reads:

Awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross

Squadron Leader Ronald Gustave Kellett (90082) Auxiliary Air Force

By his excellent example and personality this officer has been largely responsible for the success of his squadron which in one week destroyed thirty-three enemy aircraft, of which Squadron Leader Kellett destroyed three. His leadership and determination in attacking superior numbers of enemy aircraft have instilled the greatest confidence in the other pilots of his squadron.
