Does Les Munro not count as alive then?

Apparently he resides in NZ and another resides in Canada.

Best not believe this article then

Quote:

THE SOLE surviving member of the famous Dambusters was in Wellesbourne for a special fund-raiser on Saturday (April 27).
Squadron Leader George Johnson DFM, the last living airman to have flown on the Dams Raid during the Second World War, was guest of honour at St Peter’s Church for an event organised by Wellesbourne and Walton History Group.

Also the 70th anniversary of the death of Guy Gibson's dog ******.

There, I've said its name. Not in an offensive way but because that's what it was called.
