Squadron Leader Tony Iveson DFC AE November 11th, 2013 It has been extremely saddening to learn of the passing of the very great and wonderful Tony Iveson, ‘One of The Few’ and a ‘Bomber Boy’. Tony was a regular and popular veteran visitor to the Shoreham Aircraft Museum, supporting many fund-raising events in aid of the Battle of Britain London Monument, the Bomber Command Memorial and various Museum projects. In his distinguished RAF career, Tony served with 616 & 92 Squadrons during the Battle of Britain flying Supermarine Spitfires and later in the war flew Avro Lancasters with 617 Squadron, participating in the famous attacks on the German battleship Tirpitz, including the raid that sank the mighty warship on 12th November 1944. In January 1945 Tony earned a well deserved Distinguished Flying Cross after bringing his crew safely home in their shot-up Lancaster after a raid on Bergen in Norway. Tony will be much missed, but never forgotten.
