Doug Gregory
WW2 Pilot 'retires' age 90!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ed-age-90.html 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

Re: Doug Gregory
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 (12 2350)- 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. http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issu...pplements/4269
