Killed in action, in North American F-51 Mustang #321. Four aircraft piloted by Capt J.F.O. Davis, Maj Blaauw, and Lts Cooke and McDonald were on a close support mission, their target being enemy troops in a valley near Yangdogwoni-ni, between the Han and Pukham Rivers. A mosquito control aircraft dived into the valley and fired a phosphorous rocket at the target area he wished the Mustangs to attack, his rocket striking a building and causing a number of enemy troops to run out into the open. Capt Davis and Lt McDonald then went in to the attack, while Maj Blaauw and Lt Cooke flew top cover for them. On the final turn into the attack, Capt Davis' aircraft rolled onto its back at about 1200 feet and appeared to go into a spin. Both napalm bombs then came off, but the aircraft did not recover, continuing to spin until it crashed, together with the falling napalm, into a gully on the side of a hill. Maj Blaauw took over command of the flight and completed the attack. Son of Major J. G. Davis of Waterkloof Air Station, Pretoria. ref. 85 years of SAAF D F C . YES

On a 64 aircraft raid against Pyongyang, 2Lt C.L. de Jongh was flying in the No.2 position behind his flight leader, 2Lt Earp, with Lt van den Bos and 2Lt Marchand in the No.3 and No.4 positions respectively. During their attack, 2Lt Earp saw 2Lt de Jong 200 yards behind him and to his left. On pulling out of his napalm run, 2Lt de Jongh reported that he had been hit and that he was heading out to sea, but did not think he would make it. The other members of the flight saw his aircraft briefly as it left the target area, streaming glycol. He was never seen again. In 2000, a South African visitor to Beijing visited a military museum there, and saw the remains of 2Lt de Jong's Mustang (349). ref. 85 years of SAAF . . YES

Air Force Korea 23-Jul-1951 .   29 Panel 13 Killed in action, in North American F-51 Mustang #338. T/Capt F.M. Bekker, together with Lt R.M. du Plooy, and 2Lts M.I.B. Halley and D.A.R Green, was tasked to conduct a weather reconnaissance of the West Coast of North Korea. They proceeded up the Han Gang River at about 1500 feet, turning east when they reached the river mouth. In deteriorating weather they successfully attacked a bridge across the Imjin-Gan River, completely destroying it. In the course of their attack, they glided down from 1800 feet to 50 feet, and while passing over a hill at low altitude, T/Capt Bekker's aircraft was hit by ground fire. It immediately burst into flames and began to break up, and although he was able to jettison his canopy, he failed to bale out before the aircraft crashed and was destroyed. 2Lt Halley went down to investigate the crash site, and was in turn shot down. He managed to climb to a safe altitude and bale out, and on landing he waved to his two remaining comrades. One of these, Lt du Plooy, remained low to cover 2Lt Halley and keep enemy troops away from him, while 2Lt Green climbed for altitude and called for a rescue helicopter to pick up the stranded pilot. This arrived too late however, and despite Lt du Plooy's best attempts to keep the enemy troops at bay, he had to report that he had seen them capture 2Lt Halley. Shortly after this, he reported that he too had been hit, and although the wreckage of his aircraft was found, he was never heard of again. For his gallantry in sacrificing himself while attempting to save a fellow pilot, Lt R.M. du Plooy was posthumously awarded the United States Silver Star, the highest decoration available to a member of a foreign ally operating under American control. 2Lt Halley spent the remainder of the war as a prisoner of the North Koreans, suffering such privations that following his repatriation, he died in a Durban hospital on 15 August 1954, aged only 24. Only 2Lt Green returned to base safely. This proved to be the worst casualties suffered in a single mission by 2 Squadron throughout the Korean War.
