Air Marshal Sir John Tremayne Babington, KCB, CBE, DSO, DL (20 July 1891 – 20 March 1979) was a senior commander in the Royal Air Force. In 1944, he retired and the following year changed his name to Tremayne, his mother's maiden name, to avoid confusion with his younger brother, Philip Babington.[1]
He was educated at Osborne and Dartmouth Royal Navy colleges.[2]
