GINGER LACEY INTERVIEW BATTLE OF BRITAIN FILM

James 'Ginger' Lacey: Battle of Britain Pilot. "I'd rather fly in a Spitfire but fight in a Hurricane," said Ginger Lacey. Ginger Lacey a World War Two Ace with 28 kills to his credit, had been brought in as technical advisor on the film "The Battle of Britain." "I'm having the devil's time getting the actors to be authentic," Ginger Lacey grumbled. "I can't get them to cut their hair. In those days, we were all close cropped, and these chaps look like bloody Beatles. They all say they won't cut their hair; they'll ruin their image." At the Red Lion Inn that evening, Ginger Lacey recalled the time the King presented him with the Distinguished Flying Medal with Bar. "Things happened so fast, we couldn't keep one day straight from the next," he said. "I couldn't even remember the kills that won me the medal. The King asked me what I'd got the medal for. I said I'd forgotten. Well then, he said, what about the bar? Well, I'd forgotten that too. He must have thought I'd come to pick up the medal for a pal of mine."
