The last of the Dambusters has died.
Squadron Leader George Leonard (Johnny) Johnson MBE DFM died in his sleep last night, he turned 101 in November.
He was 21 when he took part in the raid on the Sorpe dam on the 27th of March 1943 as the Bomb Aimer in Lancaster AJ-T. Due to the tricky nature of the surrounding terrain they had to make ten passes over the target before Johnny was finally satisfied and dropped their bomb. It was a direct hit.

Listening to Radio 4 news. The piece about the Remberence Service in London brought a tear as i looked at the photos my sister sent me of my 91 year old Mum proudly walking as part of the Evacuees group.
This may be the last year they will be together.
