Arise Sir George - Campaign mounts to knight last #WW2 #RAF Dambuster ‘hero’. George Johnnny Johnson served his country during the 2nd World War in Bomber Command as bomb aimer. In 1943, he joined the new elite 617 Squadron, now commonly known as the Dambusters. George Johnny Johnson is now the last surviving member of the Dambusters squadron who participated in that operation. Air crews in Bomber Command were expected to complete 30 operations, mainly at night and very few ever achieved this, usually making the ultimate sacrifice with their life. George Johnny Johnson continued to complete a further 20 operations with 617 Squadron, the required amount for a second tour of duty. Almost 28,000 have signed a petition, launched by Stephen Hadley, a self employed consultant from Kent. The prestigious Royal Air Force Association - an organisation which represents former RAF personnel and has the Queen as Patron - is backing the campaign. Now, two prominent local politicians have joined calls for Mr Johnson to be knighted. Please read and sign via this link: chn.ge/1lj4T5d
