Wing Commander Ken Wallis dies at the age of 97 - Post your tributes - News - Eastern Daily Press

Terribly sad news. I had the pleasure of visiting Reymerston Hall several years ago, as part of a group, and despite being a bitterly cold March day, he happily spent some 2 hours chatting to all of us, and answering an array of questions. He then said "I suppose you want to see one of them flying?". No guesses what the answer was! He donned a flimsy flying suit and helmet, pulled Little Nellie out of the hangar, and proceeded to do circuits of his "garden". I left, suitably humbled by this charming, unassuming gentleman.

RIP Ken
