Squadron Leader John Leslie Munro, CNZM, DSO, QSO, DFC, JP (5 April 1919 – 4 August 2015) was the last surviving pilot of the Dambusters Raid of May 1943. GOD SPEED AND BLUE SKIES FOREVER


J.L.Munro RIP

Posted today on Facebook.  I see a B-17, Spitfire, Hurricane, Thunderbolt, and P-51 Mustang.  Only missing a BF109 and a Lancaster.  Too bad.

Some old warbirds fly again

Came upon another most likely WW2 related find.This strange  cylinder was found in the same neighbourhood as a GMC 6x6 doorpanel and mine knockers from a Sherman Crab(the heavy balls at the end of the chains).Found during road works in the Netherlands.The exact dimensions are:diameter 6,5 cm and height 6 cm .The diameter of the hole is 28 mm(photo's also on the forum page).Again I hope someone in here can solve the riddle :)
Have a nice weekend
