Amen, one of the real greats. Jim

sorry to hear that, as has been said, its a bit of a standing joke about him winning the war single handed. there are two films of his i like but i cant remember the titles of either, one was about a crew trapped in a submarine, which was really sad at the end, and the other he played a blenheim pilot, then became a sort of laison officer to the u.s. airforce, in this film there is a brilliant scene where he knows that there will be this squadrons first mission the next day, and a u.s. bomber crew are about to hit the town, whilst he cant tell them whats happening the next day, he strongly suggests that they have an early night, and all this crew realise what he means, and how he's giving them a hint about the next day. he will be missed
