		Sir Hughie Idwal Edwards, VC, DSO, DFC, (1914- 1982)) was a highly decorated Wing Commander in the Royal Air Force (RAF), and the Governor of Western Australia during 1974-1975.
		As knighthoods were then conferred by the Queen on the recommendation of her Federal and State governments, and the Governor was the Queen's representative in the state, this was seen as highly inappropriate, not to mention self-serving.

		A tall, taciturn Australian with a very severe limp, Hughie Idwal Edwards soon made it clear that he was not only the captain of the crew, but that if we wished to remain as his crew, we would have to meet the high standards he set.
		Wing Commander Edwards was selected to accompany a group of distinguished RAF commanders under the leadership of Air Vice Marshall Arthur Harris on a goodwill mission to the United States, as a specialist in bombing.
		Hughie Edwards was a tall, slimly-built West Australian who transferred from the R.A.A.F. to the R.A.F. in 1937, and it was only after his gaining a short-service commission in the R.A.F. that he appeared to have found his niche in life.
