War is often described as bringing out the worst in people, but equally it can be argued that some of the best flourish through the times of adversity.

Eighty year ago last week (the 19th), an RAF pilot died in a Dutch field - it was unknown at the time to be one of the most gallant officers we'll ever see.

Hero of the Dam Busters, a Wing Commander with two Distinguished Service Orders, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, and the holder of the Victoria Cross.

Guy Gibson - just turned twenty-six - but during that terrible time became a legend. For my dad, he was the hero of the RAF. One for you @Mutzo Nutzo.
