I never had the honour of meeting this wonderful man, let alone knowing him, but like many others saw him on just about any Battle of Britain documentary programme on the tele. As you say TN, a most modest man who was nonetheless the highest scoring surviving member of the few for some years before his passing. No doubt there are countless anecdotes to be told, but my abiding memory of him will be of him telling one of his own. "We were allowed to try out our guns just once before being deemed operational. I was told to fire them at the North Sea. I managed to hit it!". RIP Bob, I owe you my freedom.
