The Royal Air Force Museum recently acquired the six medals awarded to WWII Lancaster bomber pilot, Squadron Leader Lawrence Seymour ‘Benny’ Goodman, following a deal with the auctioneers, Dix Noonan Webb. Goodman died in July 2021, aged 100; a memorial service took place at St.Clement Danes, the RAF's ceremonial church in London, on February 4th, 2022. Goodman was the last surviving RAF 617 Squadron pilot to have participated in a Tallboy attack on the German battleship Tirpitz (Operation Obviate on October 29, 1944). He had flown on 30 bombing operations by the end of the war, and was one of the few pilots to drop the 22,000lb ‘Grand Slam’ bomb, the heaviest ever dropped by the Royal Air Force.
