The last surviving Dambuster dies
Thread Starter
I had the great pleasure and honour of meeting Johnny on a couple occasions as he was the guest of honour at Bristol & Gloucestershire ATC Wing Parades and Dinners. He was always interested in the Cadets and what they were up to. RIP Sir your Duty Done.
One of the truly exceptional ambassadors for the RAF and a humble man to boot, there are less and less of these people today,
Blue skies and one hopes one is walking into the crewroom in the sky to be welcomed with a mug of Tea and a pat on the back by the rest of your old crew, a job well done.
RIP and thank you.
