A memorial service for Wing Commander Adrian Warburton DSO* DFC** DFC (USA) was held on 14 May 2003, in the St Agidius Parish Church, Gmund am Tegernsee, followed by burial with full military honours at the Dürnbach Commonwealth War Cemetery. The ceremony was attended by his widow, Betty, and by Jack Vowles, a former comrade who had served with him in Malta in 1941. Jack placed a single rose on Adrian's coffin, from Christina: 'She'd been gone a while by then bless her. No one else thought about doing such a thing. She never came back to Britain. She waited for him there.' Warburton was the subject of the "Mystery of the Missing Ace" episode of the BBC investigative documentary series "Timewatch", first broadcast in November 2003.
