Ernie – referred to in more formal times as Flight Lieutenant Ernest Holmes, and by his flying friends as Ernie ‘Sherl-E’ Holmes, a Sherlock Holmes reference – is the holder of a prestigious list of honours for his skill and bravery.In May 1944, he was forced to parachute into occupied Holland when his plane crashed.After initially evading capture, he was eventually taken to a PoW camp where he lived out the rest of the war.

Although Ernie was originally from the north-east of England, he came to Perth in 1941 to do his flight training and was in No 35 Squadron RAF, an elite squadron within No 8 (Pathfinder) Group RAF.
