supergran71 Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 I rmember this wonderful old man in the BBC documentary. I also saw him last Saturday at the Festival of Remembrance. Wonderful old fella. There is also another 108 year old who is ex RAF, who lives along the coast from me at Eastbourne. I have seen him in real life when we visited the RAF Museum at Hendon. Quote
Severnlad Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 There is also another 108 year old who is ex RAF, who lives along the coast from me at Eastbourne. I have seen him in real life when we visited the RAF Museum at Hendon. Supergran the man you are referring to is Henry Allingham and he was 111 in June of this year. He was a mechanic for the Royal Flying Corp which was the predecessor of the RAF and he served on the Somme and at Ypres. Quote
Janet Posted June 17, 2008 Author Posted June 17, 2008 I'd just like to say Happy Birthday to Harry Patch - 110 today! Quote
supergran71 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I'd just like to say Happy Birthday to Harry Patch - 110 today! I endorse that Janet. I remember seeing him on a tv programme about the survivors of WW1. I believe he and Henry Allingham are the last 2 survivors now. Quote
