Pause for a moment and join us paying our respects to WWII veteran Kenneth Booth, who has passed away aged 101.
In 1938, Kenneth joined the Air Voluntary Rescue elementary flying school, before being called up for the war in 1939, aged 18.
He passed out as a qualified pilot and went out as a Royal Air Force Volunteer Reservist with 203 Squadron to Egypt. He then flew with 680 Squadron across north Africa.
He would fly low to take pictures of enemy locations, during which time he was shot down into the Mediterranean Sea in 1941. For his efforts, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross in 1942.
Thank you for your service, Kenneth.
