When the news was received that Sergeant J. H. Rank, pilot of an RAF
Bomber, had seen awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal, he was invited round to the officers mess to sign his name on the ceiling. It is a custom at this RAF Bomber station that when awards are made, the recipients climb to the ceiling to add their names to the already distinguished list and before coming down again, they must drink a pint of beer.
