A retired RAF friend rang the MOD Press Office the day before the 100th birthday of John Cruickshank VC, and encountered a wave of indifference to his enquiry about how this event would be marked. Perhaps the RAF were indeed following Cruickshank's wish to "not make a fuss" - they certainly seem to have succeeded.

BTW, how many ex-RAF holders of the Victoria Cross are still alive?
