The last surviving Battle of Britain ace pilot from World War Two has died aged 101.There are two other pilots left, both centenarians, as one might expect.
Wing Cdr Paul Farnes was among the 3,000 airmen - The Few - who defended Britain's skies in 1940.
He died at his home in Hampshire on Tuesday morning, the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust said.

Time for another Merlin engine Spitfires prop noise post? I can't get enough.
But he was a Hurricane pilot.
God speed sir. I've no doubt his squadron mates will be asking " what took you so long? Headwinds?"
