Ken Terry Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Jon, thanks for the news clip, for your interest I play golf with Bill Purdy in Sydney AUS, Bill is 96 and was a Lancaster pilot in the second world war. I have had him over to my house to fly my Lancaster on my simulator. Pretty amazing to play golf at 96 and he's not too bad either. Here is a news clip six years ago https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-03-25/veteran-wwii-pilot-still-flying-tiger-moths-at-90/5343832 Cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also highlights the external support that was given to Britain from all corners of the world, especially those who hailed from what is now the Commonwealth.
