Description

Flying Officer R N Cullen of No. 80 Squadron RAF, preparing to take off from Paramythia, Greece, in Hawker Hurricane V7288 on the morning of 4 March 1941, as part of a fighter escort for bombers attacking Italian warships off the Albanian coast. During a resulting dogfight with Italian fighters, Cullen, flying as No. 2 to Flight Lieutenant M St J 'Pat' Pattle, was shot down and killed near Himare.

At the time of his death, Richard Nigel Cullen, known as 'The Ape' because of his large physique, was credited with 16½ victories.
