Sqdn Leader George 'Johnny' Johnson DFM MBE

Sad day indeed.
"The last surviving Dambuster has died at the age of 101.
George Leonard 'Johnny' Johnson was the last surviving original member of the famous 'Dambusters' raid of 1943.
He died peacefully at his care home in Westbury on Trym, Bristol, surrounded by his family.
The retired RAF officer rose to fame as a bomb aimer during Operation Chastise, which was tasked with attacking German dams during the Second World War.
Mr Johnson was aged just 22 when, as part of the RAF's 617 Squadron, he took part in the raid.
Johnson joined the RAF in June 1940, just over a year after the start of the Second World War.
Before taking part in the Dambusters raid, he met his wife, Gwynn, who passed away in 2005.
Johnson's first mission was in August 1942 and, in November of that year, he completed training to be a bomb aimer.
He completed a tour with 97 Squadron and then transferred to 617 Squadron for the highly secret Operation Chastise, which took place on the night of May 16-17 in 1943.
Drawing on hand-picked crews from Britain, the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia, the squadron's mission was to damage several dams in Germany's Ruhr valley that provided a vital source of power to the country's industrial region
The bouncing bombs themselves were developed by aircraft engineer Barnes Wallis.
After the mission, Johnson flew on 18 more operations with 617 Squadron up until April 1944, when his commanding officer Flight Lieutenant Joe McCarthy discovered Johnson's wife was pregnant and insisted he stand down.
Johnson was decorated with the Distinguished Flying Medal at Buckingham Palace and served out the rest of the war in training positions.
He then qualified as a navigator and stayed in the RAF until 1962, when he retired as a Squadron Leader."
