Wing Commander John R Dowling - The Telegraph 28 July 2000:
Helicopter pilot celebrated for his jungle rescues who was chosen to lift the spire on to Coventry Cathedral.
Wing Commander John Dowling, who died aged 77, had the task as an RAF helicopter specialist of placing the spire on top of the rebuilt Coventry Cathedral, which had arisen from the ashes of the cathedral destroyed by German bombers in 1940.
Dowling was universally known as "Mr Helicopter", having pulled off a series of difficult and courageous operations during the Malayan emergency in the 1950s and the Borneo confrontation in the 1960s.
In 1961 Dowling was commanding No 72, a Belvedere helicopter squadron, at RAF Odiham in Hampshire, when he was asked to take on the tricky task of lifting the spire into place at Coventry. There was a 80 feet flesche and a surmounting sculpture; both had to be erected in the centre of the cathedral roof.
After a reconnaissance of the site Dowling realised that it was not the sort of task for which the Belvedere helicopter had been designed. He had to allow for the chance that one of the Belvedere's two engines might fail, and concluded that the fleche and its surmounting aluminium sculpture would have to be lifted separately. Dowling also had to be sure he did not damage the delicate structure of the cathedral roof. Were it to be punctured the whole structure above the nave might collapse.
He would have to hover with great accuracy at about 200 feet above the ground to lower the fleche and 300 feet to insert the sculpture. The very slow descent required would make normal flying control impractical. If he could hover steady, at six feet above the spot, human muscle power would be able to guide the pylon into place. The job would have to done when wind speeds were less than five knots. It was imperative to avoid the loads developing a swing.
On April 22 1962 Dowling completed the operation in two lifts, totalling 45 minutes of airborne time. He was assisted by Flight Lieutenant R Salt (co-pilot and Flight Lieutenant J Martin (crewman), John Reginald Dowling was born on July 5 1923 in Manchester, where his father was a doctor. He was educated at Ampleforth College, and enlisted in 1941. He was commissioned as a pilot after training in Canada and the United States.
He was posted in 1944 to No 115, a Lancaster bomber squadron. He survived a tour of operations against Berlin and other heavily defended areas in Germany.
Dowling was a devoted Roman Catholic, and held rigid views about the rights and wrongs of attacking enemy targets. As captain of a Lancaster he regarded it as his duty to contribute to the devastation of Germany, but held that it was wrong to seek personal revenge for the bombing of such places as Coventry Cathedral. When he discovered that his tail gunner had been concealing a private stock of small incendiaries in his turret and indiscriminately dropping them by hand on Germany he was mightily displeased and issued a severe reprimand. Dowling was awarded a DFC in 1945.
Other than a spell in 1945 flying fighters at No 1688 Bomber Defence Training Flight, after the war Dowling experienced routine flying in the Middle East and at home. But in 1948 and 1949 he flew Yorks of Nos 242 and 40 Squadrons in the Berlin Airlift. In 1950 Dowling began flying helicopters at the Royal Naval Air Station, Gosport, mastering the Sikorsky R4 and R6. As a promising performer Dowling moved on to the Westland Dragonfly and flew this type from 1950 to1953 on sorties to evacuate casualties during the Malayan Emergency.
Among Dowling's feats at this period, the most outstanding was his evacuation of a Cameronian patrol. Locating 17 sick and exhausted soldiers who had spent 29 days in a jungle swamp, Dowling lifted them from a small clearing. This had to be done in a series of sorties, since the Dragonfly could only carry three passengers or two stretcher cases. It convincingly demonstrated the helicopter's suitability for jungle work. Dowling won a Bar to his DFC in 1952, in which year he was also mentioned in despatches.
In 1953 Dowling's flight provided the nucleus of the RAF's first helicopter squadron, No 194. Subsequently, Dowling furthered the development of the helicopter operations as a flight and squadron commander at the Central Flying School. In 1960 he received command of the Belvedere trials unit, moving on in 1961 to introduce the Belvedere to squadron operational service as commander of No 72 Squadron.
Two years after the Coventry Cathedral operation Dowling was given an administrative post at RAF Seletar, Singapore, but soon escaped from this unwelcome desk work, Seizing the opportunity of the Brunei rebellion and Indonesian confrontation. Dowling made a request to command the helicopter wing. Thus he was strenuously involved in organising and flying jungle transport and evacuation operations.
During this period Dowling, keen since his Coventry exploits to obtain favourable publicity to promote the future of helicopter operations, put on two media performances. When Edward Barnes, the producer of the children's programme Blue Peter, visited the Far East Air Force with the presenter Valerie Singleton, Dowling set up a film opportunity with Dyak tribesmen on the banks of a river Sarawak. Valerie Singleton was the first white woman they had seen.
Towards the end of the 1966 he repeated his Coventry success by mounting a 30 feet metal cross on the tall slender tower of the Hakka Methodist Church of Singapore. Shortly afterwards Dowling turned home to a series of appointments, ending up as Wing Commander Helicopters at Headquarters Strike Command from 1972 to 1974. He then joined the RAF's Air Historical Branch. In 1992 he published RAF Helicopters, The First 20 Years.
Inclined to grumpiness, relieved by a wicked sense of humour, Dowling would always stick to his guns, and was prepared to defy conventions and authority in the cause of right. Dowling was appointed MBE in 1959 and had received the AFC in 1957.
He married in 1960, Ann d'Andria, they had a son and a daughter

Someone (pseudonym "ShyTorque") said in November 2000, "I was lucky enough to have had a conversation with Wg Cdr John Dowling when he visited RAF Shawbury in the late 70s. He told me about this job (I hadn't heard of it before). A good job well done! He also told me about the engine start procedure for the Belvedere. The engines were fitted one at each end of the airframe, unlike the Chinook which has both at the rear. They had AVPIN starters and either correctly went "Whoosh!" or incorrectly went "Pause.......... BANG!" There was armour plate behind the pilot's seat to protect him from an exploding starter unit. Some pilots apparently refused to strap in for the front engine start, some even sat with their right leg over the window sill - in order to jump out and run away if needed, i.e. if the "Pause......" occurred.
.---===oOo===---.
Someone (pseudonym "Warmtoast") said in November 2006, "John Dowling’s daughter recently joined my wife’s group that clean our local church. Anne, John’s widow is still with us, 89-years old and physically rather frail, but mentally as bright as a button. She had tea with us two weeks ago and had fond memories of her and John’s time in the Far East at Seletar.
.---===oOo===---.
Someone (pseudonym "Old-Duffer") said in December 2007, "John Dowling could be described as a man of firm views and a forthright manner - there are other ways of describing him, with which I shall not trouble the reader. There are also stories about him, some true, others apocryphal and occasionally downright nonsense. The one I like has, as they say given the current State of the services, a certain resonance. Remembering that he was MBE, DFC and bar, AFC, it was some surprise when he received a letter telling him he was to be made redundant. After he had been coaxed off the ceiling and calmed down, he is said to have penned something along the following lines.
‘At the conclusion of my first operational tour, I was honoured to be awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and 8 years later, was equally honoured to be awarded a Bar to this decoration. Immediately following this latter award, my work in the development of rotary winged aircraft in the Royal Air Force was recognised by the award of the MBE and latterly the Air Force Cross.
Please may I be advised as to what actions I need to take to secure my continued service in the RAF?’
Legend has it that not long afterwards and with the redundancy withdrawn, he became a wing commander, with seniority on 1 January 1964. He retired from the RAF in July 1978, shortly after his 55th birthday and sadly died in, IIRC mid 2000.

It was originally awarded to RAF commissioned and warrant officers, including officers in Commonwealth and allied forces. In March 1941 eligibility was extended to Naval Officers of the Fleet Air Arm, and in November 1942 to Army officers, including Royal Artillery officers serving on attachment to the RAF as pilots-cum-artillery observers. Posthumous awards were permitted from 1979. Since the 1993 review of the honours system as part of the drive to remove distinctions of rank in bravery awards, all ranks of all arms of the Armed Forces have been eligible, and the Distinguished Flying Medal, which had until then been awarded to other ranks, was discontinued. While remaining a reward for "flying in active operations against the enemy", the requirement was changed from "valour, courage or devotion to duty" to "exemplary gallantry". The DFC had also been awarded by Commonwealth countries but by the 1990s most, including Canada, Australia and New Zealand, had established their own honours systems and no longer recommended British honours. The DFC now serves as the third-level award for all ranks of the British Armed Forces for exemplary gallantry in active operations against the enemy in the air, not to the standard required to receive the Victoria Cross or the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross. Apart from honorary awards to those serving with allied forces, all awards of the DFC are announced in the London Gazette. A bar is added to the ribbon for holders of the DFC who received a further award, with a silver rosette worn on the ribbon when worn alone to denote the award of each bar. Recipients are entitled to use the post-nominal letters "DFC".

It was established on 4 June 1917 by King George V and comprises five classes across both civil and military divisions, the most senior two of which make the recipient either a knight if male or dame if female. There is also the related British Empire Medal, whose recipients are affiliated with, but not members of the order. Recommendations for appointments to the Order of the British Empire were originally made on the nomination of the United Kingdom, the self-governing Dominions of the Empire (later Commonwealth) and the Viceroy of India. Nominations continue today from Commonwealth countries that participate in recommending British (Imperial) honours. Most Commonwealth countries ceased recommendations for appointments to the Order of the British Empire when they created their own honours
