 | In the wake of the debate that followed, which largely refuted the Wright accusations and showed Dowding's recollections to be at fault, the RAF debated whether or not to make the octogenarian a Marshal of the Royal Air Force, but recommended against it. |
 | In his youth Dowding was an accomplished skier, winner of the first ever National Slalom Championship, and president of the Ski Club of Great Britain from 1924 to 1925. |
 | Another monument to Dowding can be found in the recreational park in Moffat, the town of his birth, and there is a bust of him in the War Memorial Cloisters at Winchester College. |
