[Ralljg52]

It is with great sadness that I have just Heard the news of the Passing away of the Legendary " General Gunther Rall ". I have had the Emmence privelage of meeting the " General " on many Ocassions here in England and at Gunther's home in Bavaria. I spoke to him on the telephone only a couple of weeks ago. Gunther Rall was not just a Legendary Wartime Fighter Ace, but a Man made from a mould no longer with us, he was a Truefull, Decent, Loyal Gentleman that I am very Proud to have called a Friend. It now seems that his Visit to England to Support me and my Aviation Gallery in April of this year was his last chance to meet his addoring Public. I am fortunate to have many many memmories of my time with " The General ", and tonight I shall raise a glass of his favorite whisky to him in his " Honour ". My thoughts are with his lovely family and his friends, I know how you are all feeling, especially you Stefan and Horst. May he be reunited with the Love of his life, Hertha his Wife. To Quote what he said to me only a couple of weeks a go " I am now on my final approach ".
May he Rest in Pease, God Bless.
