Pete B Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yes, sorry to see that, SC. A doughty old chap, still flying last year! I read that there are just two aircrew from the raid left now..... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essjay Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Chris, that is indeed a wonderful and poignant picture of Les, however he was the last of the Dambuster pilots. It should reaaly be noted as such on that photo, as there are still living survivors of the raids who weren't pilots, but were aircrew. I notice one or two of the comments also mention this.

cymaz Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I wonder, does the "other" side honour their vetrans as much as we do? I hope so, they too were someone's son or daughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
