(BIOGRAPHY)
"Late in Oct. 1940 F/O Millen successfully completed exceptional photographic reconnaissances over four important targets in Germany in a new type of aircraft. He returned to his aerodrome after a flight of five hours 55 mins.at an altitude of 27,000 feet. He has conducted thirty photographic operations over enemy territory in unarmed single seater aircraft at high altitudes. The success he has achieved is due to his initiative and keenness combined with enthusiasm and very thorough preparations before flight "
Six weeks after receiving his award and at 14:15 on the afternoon of 16th December 1940 F/O Millen took off from RAF St Eval in Cornwall in a Spitfire Mk1 (X4350) LY- on a photo reconnaissance sortie over the English Channel to the coastal area of Brest in Northern France. This aircraft was painted in Green Camotint.
He failed to return from this sortie having been shot down by a German flak battery just off the coat of France at Lannilis, Finistere, 20 km North of Brest. His body was later washed ashore at Treflez,31 km NE of Brest and is buried there in the village churchyard.
