Happy 100th birthday to the last surviving Dambuster - George 'Johnny' Johnson.

What a hero.

Met him at the 50th Anniversary when I was on six-foot-seven.
Just finished reading his book too.
A truly humble and inspiring man, as were they all.
Long may he continue.

I also read his book. He's lasted so well considering his unbelievably harsh upbringing and enduring Bomber Command.
I wonder what he thinks of modern snowflakes and wokes.

Thank goodness people like him were around in those days

I can only imagine the bleating from some elements if it was today!

I also hope that he gets a special card from HRH

Yup, and I hope the postman insisted on going round seven times before he shoved it through the letterbox.
