EJ1150 OUTWARD WATCH | Heroes Line T-Shirt | Blaq Cat Apparel

Pilot Officer Donald Boorman

WOP/AG, No.201 Squadron RAF (Coastal Command, Sunderland)

Over open water. Always watching.

Don didn’t chase glory — he hunted threats no one could see.
Flying low in the mighty Sunderland, 201 Squadron guarded Atlantic convoys from what lurked beneath and beyond.

Patience. Precision. Presence.
While others looked forward, Don looked outward.
That was his role — to listen, to scan, to strike first if needed.

He made it home.
And brought back a quieter kind of strength we still draw from.

We don’t just honour him.
We calibrate by him.

What’s printed in:

Front Left Chest — “No.201”
The number of the squadron that flew the edge. RAF Coastal Command’s hunters. No.201 watched the sea lanes so others could move freely. They didn’t break formation — they held it.

Back — “NS–W”
Don’s aircraft call sign.
“NS” — the squadron code. “W” — the aircraft ID letter.
Painted on the side of the Sunderland that skimmed the waves. A black-and-white reminder of what he flew, and what he flew for.

Right Sleeve — “EJ1150”
Don’s watch station — a real serial number.
It marked his console, his post, his presence.
The signals and silence he listened to, in skies that gave no second chances.

Every reference is real.
Every mark earned.

This isn’t fashion. This is legacy.
Wear it so they aren’t forgotten.
