Thank you for this moving tribute to one of The Few. I have posted a tribute and profile of him on Battle of Britain Site, which I run on FB in honour nd remembrance of these men. I have shared information and news of the memorial for July to members. I have shared the imahges and links to the various sites and credited this website tribute also. I hope that there is a big response to the memorial service and that people will remember him as a hero who died so that others would live. Paul Davies Aviation Historian.
