RIP Sir , if anybody examplifies his generation it's him and I don't mean that as a disservice to his comrades but as the last BOB pilot he should go down in history and not forgotten like so many others have. | |

These guys and others saved this country from invasion. If the RAF had been defeated it would have been easier for the Luftwaffe to give air cover to any invasion fleet | | | |

I’m sure. Unfortunately. Those days have gone and the pride in this once great country is waning day by day.
I salute you sir, you ARE a hero! |  |

Make sure you tell OHL about these Irishmen as I have tried to correct him many times over the years he seems to think they were all for the otherside.
An amazing brave man to be shot down four times and still got up and back at them. | |

The last battle of Britain pilot yes but not the last WW2 veteran. There's still a few soldiering on.
RIP Paddy, I bet you never accepted you were a hero because your generation was like that. It's why we call you the greatest generation. | | | |

That's what Americans call that generation, we don't. The ones who fought in ww1 were just as brave and tough, probably more so | | | |

I met a ww2 vet at d day celebrations in france in 2022, he was like a button, and was 18 yrs old on D day.
it was a very eerie meeting as he was the spitting image of my old man, just hope the old fella is still going. |  | | |
