I heard that on the radio and although sad and the beginning of the end of an era with only 5 veterans left, to live to be 100 is a fair old achievement, even more so when you consider what he was doing at the age of 21.
RIP Archie

I suppose these guys who survived went through the rest of their lives not really caring about death as they probably stared it right in the face doing the job that they did. |

I saw a documentary on the battle of Britain a few months ago and the sheer onslaught from the Germans was immense.
One particular attack saw 1200 Luftwaffe aircraft in the sky which the RAF and ground based anti-aircraft guns saw off.
We owe an awful lot to these extremely brave men.
RIP Archie McInnes.
