91 and flying high
91 year old Neville Croucher, an ex-Hurricane pilot who flew hundreds of hours during WWII, recently took his first ever flight in a Spitfire. See link below for more details and video of his flight. Earlier, Neville Croucher was a baker boy - vowed to join the RAF after being strafed by a German fighter whilst on his delivery round.
