Douglas Bader worked for Shell Aviation after the War. I worked with a Dambuster Pilot - David Shannon - who had also worked for Shell Aviation after the war and who was friendly with Douglas Bader. We often had phone calls in the office asking for David from DB and I think they frequently met up at one of the clubs in London.
Guy Gibson, of course, was killed towards the end of the war so didn't work for Shell, although I have read that he could be very acerbic, especially to those less senior to him.
