Thanks, Mark!
I should add that I disapprove of the obit writer's use of the word 'phlegmatic'. I'd go with 'stoic' or even 'becalmed' -- though that's probably not entirely on point, either.

Very nice.
Incidentally, my dad died on Battle of Britain Day, something he would have appreciated, if not enjoyed

They were hoping that there would be a Hawker Hurricane along with with the MKI Spitfire to do the fly past at Dame Vera' s funeral on Saturday, but the Hurricane for some technical reason, got grounded. Hence the other Spit with invasion stripes. Too bad because the Hurricane was the primary RAF fighter in the Battle of Britian.
