My great hero is my dad !
He was not just an ordinary dad as he was killed when I was only four and I hardly remember him.
I do know that he was a war hero and that he received eight medals for flying in bombers right through the war. He was shot down twice and parachuted into France and Holland only to get home and go back into the war.
He was killed in a flying accident while still in the RAF on exercises in the Med in 1948 - three years after the war had finished.
Here is the only photo I have of him:
