He graduated from Imperial Service College Windsor, where he received a scholarship to Sandhurst. Instead, against his father's wishes, he joined R.A.F. Cranwell College. He started his career at the beginning of the war at 502. Squadron (Coastal Command) in St.Eval. At the end of 1940 he was transferred as an instructor to the Central Flying School and in August 1942 sent to the Middle East. At the end of the year he started as a pilot Wellington at 215. squadron and served two "tours" on the Burmese front.

1.1.1945 during a raid on the Burma/Siam Railway, his Liberator hit by ground shooting. He managed to bring the burning machine 1,000 miles back to India. For this, D.F.C.

After the war, he held positions at Bomber Command and Air Ministry. In 1950 he became a commanding officer 297. Squadron and in November was selected for a secret mission, the deportation King of Buganda, a 28-year-old Cambridge graduate who antagonized the local Colonial Governor. Beadon flew to Entebbe on Handley-Page, loaded the arrested king with the engines running, and flew back to Abingdon.

In 1954-57 he served as an air attaché in Caracas and in the mid-1960s in Paris.

Diskuse

I have a question about other important facts - are there no sources in that source about the said deportation? With regard to the date of birth, I assume that there is activity in connection with Mutesom II, King of Buganda and later president Uganda?

Yes,
it's a king nicknamed Fredie. The source only says that he was dragged screaming across the airfield and thrown into the trunk with a sack over his head. After landing in Abingdon, Beadon apologized to him and they even made good friends.
