The name is pronounced as in Barder, not Bayder (as read). Being as famous as he was there are several references to Sir Douglas Bader that can evidence the pronounciation as Barder. Examples include:

Wikipaedia, films such as "Reach for the Sky", documentaries and interviews (eg on YouTube), history/war books with dedicated chapters to the great man.

Don't use name pronounciation sites, as many of these are North American and Canadian Baders are pronounced Bayder, and there is confusion with the Palstinian boy's name Bader, which again is pronounced Bayder.
