Mr Bayles joined the RAF whilst studying law at Oxford, became a Spitfire Pilot at 20 years of age and fought the famous Battle of Britain in the skies over England. In 1942 he was posted to India and Burma to fight until the end of the war. Thoroughbred racing and breeding were a big part of his life, as was the administration of the sport, first at Seymour, followed by 13 years of service at the VRC.
