    This demonstrates how humane, compassionate and grateful we can be as humans. It's a pity we can't be like this in everything we do and be mindful.
    Sad that he died alone, he didn't deserve that, RIP Mr Brown, thank you for your service to my country 🇬🇧

    Sad that Mr Brown is no longer with us and HE never claimed all this last 'Pilots of the Caribbean' stuff. But he didn't fly ANY operations during the war. I've looked at the Operational Flying Book for No 625 Squadron and his first flight was on 15th May 1945 - the war in Europe famously ended on 8th May 1945. This is is a case of stolen honour by the WOKES.

    no such honours for the Poles who flew in the RAF. Is it coz I is black?

      Funny, some Poles may have flown in the RAF but just as many were willing participants of Hitlers madness. If you don't like the UK, no ones forcing you to live here sourkraut.

      As I recall the history, those Poles who flew in the RAF did so because their own country had been conquered, and Britain was the only place where those who chose could continue to resist Hitler? Am I wrong?
