Looks like you're right Chris ... I found this ...
BBC - WW2 People's War - A Bedfordshire Bomb Aimer - Part TwoWhen the bombing photographs had been developed it was found that P/O Wright and his bomb-aimer F/O Marshall had, between the two of them, hit the ‘Aiming Point’. Crews who had hit the ‘Aiming Point’ received a Certificate. The certificate was signed by the Air officer Commanding No.5 Group, Air-Vice Marshal the Hon. Ralph Cochrane

I have three raid cards from 44sqn Rhodesia on a bomb raid, one signed by an AOC of 5 Grp in 1942, the artist was Pollen, I will upload them when scanner working.

Here are the two pictures i have scanned in, both raid cards, one for Genoa and the other Milan (who is the officer signing this one)
Does anyone have any info on the raids etc, I would be interested to find out more as Jowers is a family friend I am researching and I have most of his information, he was a Flight Engineer on the Lancaster, one of his books is his Engineers notes with handwritten information about the Lancaster on most of the pages. He also had aerial photos of the bombings that took place, ie. Bremen, Paderborn, Wesel, Osnabruck, Nordhausen, to name but a few
Also can anyone tell me where RAF Strubby was, I cannot find any info on it.
