    I have extremely sad news. Our New Zealand Bomber Command Association Patron, and well known Dambuster pilot,
    Les Munro passed away last night following a spell in hospital with heart problems. So, so sad. he was a mighty man.

    Sad news, indeed. By coincidence, the last Canadian Dambuster, Fred Sutherland, was interviewed by our own Elinor Florence. Check her blog, Wartime Wednesdays, for the interview.
