Paddy Hemingway, last surviving fighter pilot of the Battle of Britain. 105 years old, just passed yesterday.

Blue skies, Airman. Hope your wingmen saved some of the Good Stuff for you at the big bar in the sky...

It won't be long Alf...not very long at all until they are all gone.  I'm super happy I went on the WWII tour back in 2019.  Part of our fee covered having 5 or 6 WWII vets and caregivers to give us their take on the battles they participated in while in the Pacific Theatre.
