The Few Are Now Two

The last surviving Battle of Britain ace pilot from World War Two has died aged 101.

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.
There are two other pilots left, both centenarians, as one might expect.

  3. God speed sir. I've no doubt his squadron mates will be asking " what took you so long? Headwinds?"
