He scored three more times in September; then his fifth and sixth victories on 30 September made him an ace. He scored again in mid-October, on the 18th.[1] On 26 October 1917 Winnicott was awarded the Military Cross.[9] There was a pause in his scoring while he upgraded to a SE.5a. On 29 November, Winnicott shared a triumph with fellow ace Loudoun MacLean and two other pilots. The next day, Winnicott destroyed an Albatros D.V at 1340 hours; 20 minutes later, he teamed with MacLean, Meredith Thomas, and Frank Harold Taylor to drive a German two-seater down out of control over Rumilly to become a double ace. His final tally was two enemy aircraft destroyed, eight driven down out of control.[1][10] Russell Winnicott was killed in a flying accident on 6 December 1917,[1][2] when he collided with another aircraft,[10] and is buried in the Military Cemetery in Varennes, Somme.[11] On 29 January 1918, he was posthumously promoted to lieutenant, effective 1 July 1917.[12] List of aerial victories{{See also|Aerial victory standards of World War I}}
