Our Last Battle of Britain Pilot Has Died

The last of the 136 New Zealand airmen officially credited as a veteran of Fighter Command in the Battle of Britain has died. Bernard Walter Brown flew Spitfires with No. 610 Squadron at Biggin Hill, and then moved to No. 72 Squadron in September 1940. He shot down an Me109 before being shot down himself. He recovered and continued flying after the Battle, and in 1944 like so many Kiwis in the RAF he transferred to the RNZAF. Bernie was 99. RIP
