News of Group Captain Hemingway D.F.C.'s passing has been much exaggerated, at the age of 98 he is still in the prime of his life.

Surviving total of Battle of Britain veterans increases from eight to nine | Daily Mail Online

What is remarkable is that he survived the War. He was shot down four times, including in France in 1940, in the Battle of Britain the same year and in Italy in 1945. He was never captured

In these short clips he describes the four occasions he had recourse to his parachute.
