 The last surviving airman to have piloted a plane during the Battle of Britain died on Monday at the age of 105. You can't get more British than a Battle of Britain pilot only- as it happens- John Hemingway was Irish. His mates, inevitably, called him Paddy. Britain and Ireland have had their differences but in spite of all that we love one another dearly.
