Thanks digitJohnnys crew made 10 bombing runs at the sorpe dam running at just 30ft above the water and it was only on the 10th run that Johnny was happy to press his button and release the payload. Imagine the noise of a lanky just 30ft above your village in the middle of the night (not exactly stealthy),Imagine the flak, Imagine eventually getting back to base only to find half your mates didnt make it. Imagine volunteering for this when you are just 22 years old. A hero and no mistake. There is something wrong about how another petition (Trumps State Visit) got over 1.5 million signatures within a week. There is something definitely wrong about how Johnny was forgotten in this years honours. Lest we forgot...
