I have just seen in today's Cambridge Edition newspaper the death notice of Cambridge airman Ian James, who flew in the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm in WWII, and was the brother of the late Ossie James. He was training at Bunker Hill when the war ended. Some of you may have met him in May at our Forum Meet and Veterans Day here in Cambridge, he was the chap on two walking sticks. Here's a copy of the death notice:
