Stan Solomons is a WW2 veteran. He trained with codebreakers at Bletchley Park, the once top-secret base of the Government Code and Cypher School.
He served his country in the RAF as a young man, and even worked at a listening post in Hong Kong, close to the frontier with Communist China.
He is 95 now, and this week was rushed to Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, for emergency treatment.
