You wait ages for a bus then two come along at once!
I had no knowledge whatsoever about the Vultee Vengeance until I stumbled on Danny's fascinating account of his time on them a while back. I was at a small squadron reunion of contemporaries of mine last month and I asked if any of them knew that the RAF had dive bombers in WW2, and none did (they know quite a bit about the Vultee Vengeance now!). Back to the obit, 100 is a great age, and what a way to go - just a few hours after your birthday party!
Small quibble about the thread title - that should be Wing Commander Arthur Gill, OBE, DFC. Orders take precedence over decorations, with the exception of the Victoria Cross which invariably precedes all other awards.
