Talk on Canada's last VC...


Don MacNeil will speak about Lt Robert Hampton Gray VC at the Canadian Aviation Museum in Rockcliffe, Ottawa on December 30th at 1 pm. Gray was decorated for his heroic actions during attacks on a Japanese warship in Onagawa Wan, Japan, in August, 1945. His plane, hit by anti-aircraft fire, was downed and his body was never recovered.

Don MacNeil will describe the career and many daring exploits of this gallant Canadian aviator, a member of the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm. There is a possibility that a light bus might be hired to transport Club members, if there is sufficient interest. Please mail me to indicate any support for this idea.
