Bristol war hero who flew Lancaster bombers.
(From Bristol Evening Post)
War hero Alfred Mullins was an RAF flight engineer whom crews could rely on to get them home after bombing raids.
Known as Alf, he would fly Lancaster bombers to safety through German gunfire while the pilot got vital rest after hours at the controls.
His courage earned the Distinguished Flying Medal in 1943 - one of just a few thousand to be awarded - which he received from King George VI.
Mr Mullins, who worked his way up the ranks to flight lieutenant, has died at the age of 86.
Born in Bristol on March 4, 1922, Mr Mullins was one of six children and lived with his family in the Old Market area of the city.
As he grew up, he played rugby for Bristol Old Boys and after joining the RAF.
