Veteran pilot recalls sinking the Bismarck

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-38303674

A Scottish pilot John Moffat, who helped to sink the Bismarck during World War Two, dies at the age of 97.

Never met him (several of my friends did) but I flew from the same airfield for a while.

I laugh in the face of danger. Then I hide until it goes away.

Saw him interviewed on the Dogfights episode about the Bismarck chase. One more from the WW II generation gone...

Treat everyone you meet with kindness and respect, but always have a plan to kill them.
