Amazingly until today I had never even heard of this man, 4 U Boats destroyed in Liberators. An amazing achievement considering most pilots never even sighted one!

RIP, Captain Bulloch was something of a legend in BOAC postwar too.

The above crew photo in the article is from the IWM Collection:
Flight-Lieutenant T M Bulloch of No. 120 Squadron RAF, a successful anti-submarine pilot, with six of the crew of his Consolidated Liberator, probably taken at Nutt’s Corner, County Antrim. They are, seated (left to right): Pilot Officer M F Dear (2nd pilot), Flight Lieutenant Bulloch (pilot and Captain), and Pilot Officer M B Neville (navigator); standing (left to right): Sergeant F N Hollies, Sergeant J W Turner, Sergeant G Millar and Sergeant R McColl.
Hadn’t heard this news myself, which I find surprising, as I’ve an interest in Coastal Command operations and knew a bit about him.
He was a man who’s wartime achievements should be more widely known.
