John Eacott:-
Just a note to let you know that Dad died last Thursday, the Memorial Service will be this coming Friday 8th December in Mt Martha on the Mornington Peninsular.
My sincere condolences on the loss of your father. As Walter603 he brought direct testimony of the dangers and challenges of being a WWII pilot to this thread that is dedicated to his ilk. Most importantly he reminded us of the tremendous debt owed by my country and the liberated nations of Europe, and the Middle and Far East, to the Dominions and Colonies of the British Empire. Politics move on, but Remembrance is forever.
Rest in Peace, Sir.
