Squadron Leader George ‘Johnny’ Johnson was one of the most incredible human beings I have ever met.
He was funny, entertaining, charming, kind, generous but above all of those things and at his very core he was fearless, brave and strong. I was very lucky to become a friend in his later life and have many times to remember, full of laughter and intrigue.
Politicians may not have promoted these heroes but the public did and still do today. I remember one particularly long lunch when word got around the restaurant that Johnny was there.
