Wow, the obituary was about to run out of room for "Great".

 :salute Allingham. Amazing he even survived those planes. At the time I believe they weren't allowed to carry chutes because those in charge thought they would jump out rather than fight. (Assuming he flew).

just think, lived during 3 centuries. Amazing!

Once asked what he would attribute to his longevity he replied, "cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women." :)
