Memorial service for Tony was held in Geelong, complete with a Spitfire flyover. Fitting sendoff.

Tony and been unwell for the last 10 days or so and was moved to the local hospital about a week ago.
His family are conducting a private funeral and there will then be an open memorial serve in a few weeks time. T.B.A.
The memorial service will be huge, with representatives from both the RAF, Motorsport Circles and people he knew from overseas.

Sad news.
I last spoke to Tony about eight or nine years ago by telephone when doing some work on Bader. He made no secret of the fact that he wasn’t a ‘Bader man’ although on the fateful 9 August 1941 he wasn’t flying. In fact, he had a premonition and told Bader that he shouldn’t fly that day.
He must have been the last survivor of Bader’s Tangmere Wing?
