However, I am still of the mindset that Captain Eric Winkle Brown also deserved a very well earned Knighthood. (And thats from an ex Crab as well!). it just goes to show the power of publicity. Gone but not forgotten. Just saying.

Wholeheartedly agree. Both much more deserving than the usual Luvvies and politicians who get it.

Why not, after all if you look up Zeitgeist in the Oxford English dictionary, there's probably a picture of Captain Tom.
I do think Winkle should've got one though. |

RIP Captain Sir Tom, you were an inspiration to us all.
|
Capt Sir Thomas Moore
Capt Sir Thomas Moore
Canadian news are reporting he has passed due to covid. Outstanding Gentleman Rest in Peace |
Not given to many to do so much good at 100 years old - an inspiration - and the best advert for the UK Armed Forces in generations
|
The death of a centenarian with pneumonia is sadly no surprise, with or without COVID. Yet from the moment I heard he was in hospital I had a horrible sick feeling and an anxious few hours awaiting the inevitable bad news. I hoped he would pull through however unlikely that was as an outcome. I think this shows the measure of the man.
He had a remarkable final year which few of his generation could have expected. I hope the end was peaceful, all any of us can ever really hope for. RIP, Sir. |
RIP Sir, Enemies foreign and domestic couldn’t destroy your beautiful spirit, but this cynical disease has robbed us of your inspirational presence. At peace with your comrades now, rest easy Sir your duty is completed.

Boris Johnson is encouraging the nation to join in with a national clap for Captain Sir Tom Moore and healthcare workers this evening (3 Feb 2021). |
"but this cynical disease" - CYNICAL? It's disease, that's all - it doesn't have a personality, nor a plan, nor does it "put up a fight" - it just exists
|
Blue Skies Sir.
