Shirley Not?

Whilst searching the web for a few little details about RAF Wyton I came across the following quote from an mod site.

‘Several aviation milestones have been recorded from RAF Wyton. The first sortie of WW2 took off from here as well as the first aircraft of the 1000 bomber raids on Germany. The legendary Pathfinder Force was formed here and Wyton aircraft took part in the last Bomber Command Raid on Germany. 1981 marked the retirement from Wyton of the Royal Air Forces last serving Spitfire pilot.’

While I can’t comment on most ot it, surely the last sentence is a tad wrong? Do the BBMF know about this! 😮

Perhaps what they mean to say is former WW2 Spitfire pilot??
