RIP "Benny" Goodman.
His passing leaves George Leonard "Johnny" Johnson, who was a Bomb Aimer, as the last surviving member of Operation Chastise.
Hopefully he will make to the 80th anniversary in 2023 which will make him 102.

The quote makes no sense as we have a current operational 617 Sqn, as well as other retirees who flew Tornados and Vulcans with 617.
