Unsung D-Day hero opens Norfolk RAF memorial

From North Creake, No 199 and No 171 Squadrons of No 100 Group of RAF Bomber Command flew Stirling IIIs and Halifax IIIs on radio counter-measures intended to conceal the true position of the main Allied bomber thrust.

James ‘Jim’ Hocking
James ‘Jim’ Hocking was born in Nambour as the second child of William and Eva Hocking’s five children. When war was declared in 1939, three Hocking boys were ready to sign up.

It’s the only VC in the RNZAF Museum of New Zealand collection at Wigram, Christchurch. The precious medal, which will be on display until May 9, was donated to the museum along with Trent’s nine other medals by his family after his death in 1986.
A quiet and unassuming man, Trent disliked the fuss that the award caused and remained uncomfortable with the publicity and his renown as a war hero, always stressing the vital contribution of his aircrew and making a point of quietly visiting the families of those who gave their lives. ....
