      Somewhat fitting that an Irishman passed on St Patrick's day.

        The last one. Very sad. We all owe those brave men a huge debt of gratitude.

          The last of the brave few . To think that he would only have been about 21/22 at the time of the battle of britain is remarkable . RIP John

                    I saw an interview with him on TV, what a humble, remarkable man.

                    RIP Paddy.

                    Geoff.
