Squadron Leader Les Munro, last of the Dam Buster Squadron, died at home yesterday at the ripe old age of 96. http://ift.tt/1MKy11h
Last year, Les got involved in an absurd ****-fight with the NZ Government. He wanted to sell his medals and give the money to the Bomber Command Association, except the Gov't decided his medals were too important to NZ and stopped the sale.
Fortunately, a compromise was reached and the medals were bought and donated to a NZ Museum.
A top bloke, by all accounts.
