The great wartime fighter pilot has died at the age of 81.
As some of you know, New Bloke and I went to meet the great man in April so that he could sign 400 copies of the TSR2 print which Nearly Man donated to the PPRuNe Fund. It was an absolute joy to meet him and 'discuss' just a very small part of his famous career. I personally feel very sad that he has gone. His name will live with the very best of Great Britains famous aviators.
I feel very proud to have met him and I offer my condolences to his family. God bles him and keep him.
