The Few are remembered in aviation legend as the airmen who beat the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain in late 1940, leading Winston Churchill to remark that "Never was so much owed by so many to so few". However, the death of Flight Lieutenant Maurice Mounsdon last Friday leaves just three remaining members of the The Few: William Clark (100), Paul Farnes (101), and John Hemingway (100). Just as this year marked the death of the last living participant in the Doolittle Raid, early 2020 could see the remaining members of the Few pass away.

Quite a group of men that has unfortunately accumulated here in the obituaries since I last was here. Even someone who joined the military at the very end of the war would be in there mid 90s. Those from the first year or two pushing 100. Weve come to a tragic wall in time. Pretty soon we'll have lost them all.
