All right, this might be a very optimistic long shot. But I'll give it a try?
I'm working on a list of all the awards of the Norwegian medal Armed Forces' Medal for Bravery.
I've found a short article about a guy named Ian McDonald-Webb (possible McDonald Webb) serving at ?rland Hovedflystasjon outside Trondheim in Norway.
One day he was flying a F-16 and a fire started in his plane. Without getting panic, he managed to land the plane safely, despite the fact his engine was hardly working. I think this was in 1997.
The article states he was awarded the medal, but I cannot find any other source to back it up.
Have any of you ever heard about this?
Hello my name is Scot Mcdonald-Webb. Ian is my father. He was posted in Norway on an exchange pilot post. His f-16 suffered form a catastrophic engine failure. He manage to dead stick lad the aircraft and was awarded the edeldode medal (Norwegians Kings Medal) form the King Of Norway. I believe he is the only English pilot to gain this medal. Sorry about a late post. If you want anymore info ill ask my old man.
Thanks,
Scot Mcdonald-Webb
