And how refreshing to read a story like that as opposed to the current run of MPs expenses, celebrity goings on and other junk.

[rest have risen above me]

I'd be happier if he'd told the frogs to stuff their medal. I mean who wants a cheese munching cowards gong. As for not being an expense grabbing MP this old buggers taken over 50 years of pension lol.............

I'll bet he has some stories to tell..DT_Xtremez_30:

God Bless Sir,

I bet in his day he wasn't too worried about high pay band/low pay band or what he was lucky enough to receive in his pay packet at the end of the month/week!.

Having met Henry a few times and read his book "Kitcheners Last Volunteer" he really does epitomise what the RAF is all about. We are indeed fortunate to have a man like Henry around to pass on his words of wisdom to us and indeed school children of today.

A Flt for trainee Squippers and Armourers has been named after him now at Tossford.

One of Trenchards originals and a true legend who's name is rightfully carved into the history and future of the RAF.

God Bless you Henry

Aye!
