[JVaughan]

The oldest surviving Battle of Britain pilot, who was shot down in his Spitfire and wounded in 1940, has died aged 99.

Flight Lieutenant William Walker, born in Hampstead, north London, suffered a stroke last Thursday and died in hospital on Sunday, the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust said.

He wasn't the last survivor, but he was the oldest.
Geoffrey Wellum and Tom Neil for two are still with us.

May Flt Lt Walker rest in peace, thanks for what you did.

May he rest in peace, a true hero lest not forgot what his generation did for us.
I hope people will remember what these brave men did and wear a poppy with pride on the 11th November.

Never was so much owed by so many to so few.
