Sincere condolences seconded….. 🙁 🙁

And for me personally an extra tinge of sadness, for, as one of the top scorers on the Hurricance, he was one of my boyhood Battle of Britain heros along with Pete Brothers and Bob Tuck.

Poor Frank Carey – he was one of my heros too. A Hurricane man through and through. I had always hoped to meet him, but of course that can not happen now.

Wherever you are Frank – keep doings those rate 4 turns 🙂
