What does anyone know of his wartime career?

BTW - I thought Wing Commander Ken Wallis was Britain's oldest stunt pilot but the Wiki page on him suggests he died yesterday! If that's true then RIP old chum

The replica is G-SEVA which in the past was registered to

IVAN DOUGLAS GREGORY

Pilot Officer Ivan Douglas GREGORY (172248), R.A.F.V.R., 141 Sqn.
Pilot Officer Derek Henry STEPHENS (122350)- R.A.F.V.R.. 141 Sqn.
These officers have completed many sorties as pilot and navigator respectively. They have displayed great skill and co-operation, qualities which were well illustrated one night in July, 1944, when they destroyed a Junkers 88 from close range. Their devotion to duty has been unfailing.
