I wanted to ask about the nature of celebrations in the UK marking the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, because the death of British night fighter navigator/radar operator Terry Montague Clark last May leaves British fighter pilot John Allman Hemingway the only living British airmen who fought in the Battle of Britain, but also given COVID-19.

Avion ancien, I think your answer is yes – one – Paddy Hemmingway above! Though with the rider that Ireland was part of the British Empire when he was born, but gained independence in 1921.

Are there still alive pilots of other nationalities who served in the RAF and participated in the Battle ofd Britain?
