| It is very sad at the end of 2012 to inform friends that Joe Calverley, our very own ‘Dambuster’ passed away on Friday 21st Dec. at the age of 90. It had been an honour to fly Joe twice in the co-pilot seat, on our ‘Dambuster’s Run’, firstly to celebrate his 85th birthday and secondly in 2011 when we did a flight for the ex-617 Squadron member, which was featured in the Derbyshire Life magazine.
