    The few become fewer

    Geoffrey Wellum has left us.
    The few really do become fewer. He will be sadly missed.

    Indeed. The youngest RAF pilot in the BoB.
    RIP.

      We all owe Geoffrey and others a debt of gratitude. We are able to live the lives we do thanks to their sacrifices.
      RIP Geoffrey

        Read “first light”...it is superb and really tells it like it was....
        He was at the Chalke valley history festival a couple of years back but I unfortunately missed him, really regret it today, even more than I did previously...

          Sqn Ldr Geoffrey Wellum, who was 18 when he joined the RAF in August 1939, dies at the age of 96.

              I saw that earlier today, and Tom Neil on Wednesday. I type this with a picture of Spitfire G-QJ, a print signed by Geoffrey himself. I feel a Spitfire build coming on.

                I've never read First Light, but ordered it two weeks ago, and am eagerly anticipating the book's arrival. I watched the movie again yesterday after hearing about Wellum's passing. RIP.
