WO John E Waldron DFM
To bring the tale up to date, John is currently in Lincoln in the final moments of his life. There are many tales of the old and the bold slipping away unnoticed and uncared for, but John is peaceful and comfortable and surrounded by family and his many friends. I'm sure he is baling out with very few regrets and in his mind certain of being with his wife again who had just died when I posted this thread.
Subsequent to this thread, he saw a lot more of the modern air force and he was particularly thrilled to have a look around a Harrier (Kano, he mentioned your kindness for long afterwards). So, to everyone else too who made a suggestion, many thanks - we visited Just Jane, Elvington, Cottesmore, BBMF, Lincoln Air Museum and Duxford. Just knowing that people in his band of merry men cared.. it meant a lot to him.
