Godspeed, sir, and thank you very much for your service in WWII. I salute you, sir.

God Bless and Keep You Wing Commander Pattison. You flew top cover for us in the war and have taken up that job again. May we be worthy sir.

RIP, and many thanks.

Interesting story. I was amused that he was penalized for flying under the bridge. Yeah, it was a stunt, but making low ground runs through confined spaces is an essential skill for a fighter pilot. Okay, maybe not under a bridge, but you never know… grin

I thought the comment about the cataract surgery was very interesting – an injury suffered 50 years earlier to his eye manifested as a cataract. I wonder if the surgeon found the metal splinter in question?

Rest in peace sir, and thank you.
