I have been advised of the passing of Squadron Leader Neville Duke DSO, OBE, DFC, AFC. (1922 - 2007).

Squadron Leader Neville Duke was the Royal Air Force's top-scoring ace in the Mediterranean theatre in World War II. In 1953, he became holder of the world air speed record when he achieved 727.63 mph flying a Hawker Hunter F Mk3 over Littlehampton in the UK.
