Oh, goodie! They are back:

Not often you get to see a snazzy plaque to a Victoria Cross Winner. Here is a short description of the events leading to the award of the medal to Robert Hampton Gray:

The war was nearly over, but the Fleet Air Arm still had business to do. On a clear and sunny 9 Aug 45, after he had completed an earlier sortie, Slt Bill Atkinson was the friend who helped a fellow Canadian, Lt. Hampton Gray, RCNVR, of Nelson B.C., strap himself into his Corsair fighter-bomber in preparation for a raid at Onagawa Bay, Japan. In that day's raid Hampton-Gray sunk the Japanese Destroyer Amakusa, but was tragically killed in the process. For his valour, Lt Hampton Gray was awarded the Victoria Cross.

He was a member of the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve, att'd 841 Sqdn, Fleet Air Arm and, as a naval officer lost at sea, is one of the 3,000 named on the Naval Memorial at Point Pleasant Park in Halifax, NS. He is remembered in Kingston for having done pilot training here.

Remember you can find all sorts of jetsicle goodness here. I have spotted another Sabre over at Royal Military College in the trees as well as a helicopter on CFB Kingston.
