He was unassuming, ,quiet and brave like many who fought..He never talked or boasted of his part as a 19 year old Flight Engineer in Halifax and Lancaster bombers.He died in 2012 at the age of 90-but we still love him and remember him and we would like some form of recognition and respect from the British Government for him and his brave friends.Parity with all the other war veterans of the Armed Forces is the least that they deserve.
