In today's DT, the obituary of Gp Capt Allan Wright, who sadly died on 16 September:

Described by Geoffery Wellum in his book 'First Light' as, 'a lovely chap: kind, quiet & introverted.' (Doesn't sound like a 'typical' fighter pilot to me....!)
Gp Capt Wright was 20 during the Battle & rested after a year of combat at the same age that I was still getting p***ed up in the Student Union bar. I was inspired by his generation to join the RAF.
Duty done, Sir.
