Ninety-Eight Years Old....sharp as a Tack....and flying in a Mozzie.....folks....now how cool is that!
Hand Salute!
Ninthace,
Family friend ran off to Canada so he could "fly"....and did so on Lancasters out of Middleton-Teeside doing thirty trips to Germany.
Listening to his stories of those years while enjoying a good lunch with him was simply magic.
He stayed in the RCAF until the end of the war and accrued no Veterans Benefits from the US Government as a result of his foreign military service.
Poring over some photo albums with him....and seeing all the memories they brought back.....I treasure the time I had with him.
He was my childhood Hero.....a true Gentleman...and very unassuming despite what he had experieneced during the War.
I am thinking it isn't dust....more like allergies and some Pine Pollen!
