Have a look at this link, and travel back in time, with an old veteran, who's survived Jutland, The Somme, and was one of the first ever members of the Royal Air Force. He seems to have survived pretty well everything, and can thank wild women. A short but truly charming story of an upcoming birthday cake, and a flypast.

Thanks, he seems like quite an extraordinary chap and still has his wits about him. I hope he has several more good years left in him.

Whoops, I cross posted on this. Still I think this guy is worth a couple of posts.
