"One of the last surviving pilots who fought in the Battle of Britain during World War Two, Flight Lieutenant Maurice Mounsdon, has died aged 101.
Mr Mounsdon was one of only four remaining members of "The Few" - a group of 3,000 airmen who defended the skies above southern England from the Nazis in 1940.
In 2015, the veteran told the BBC what happened when a German cannon shell hit the fuel tank of his Hawker Hurricane in August 1940"
He should have got a Knighthood but it seems that you have do something really important, such as hit a tennis ball over the net at Wimbledon, to get a gong nowadays !
