R.I.P. Lawrence Goodman (last surviving dam buster)


It’s worth noting here the passing st age 100, on 18 July, of Lawrence Seymour Goodman, the last surviving member of 617 squadron. It’s always sad when a book closes like this - there are of course few high profile WW2 veterans left now.

I happened to watch the film again a week or so ago and have read Paul Brickhill's book several times over the years. They were a hugely impressive bunch of young men.

Yes indeed. Such an inspiring story, done justice by a classic film.
