I so much wanted to take our freind of many years standing Rudy (Mick Hicks) to the 166 Kirmington memorial this years 2013 but have sadly missed it. I was discussing the same with Rudy today as I was going to take hime as a surprise for his 102 birthday.
I think Rudy may be the longest surviving crew member of WW11 bomber command and if this is so then I would like to do something special for him.
The Grimsby Telegraph have an old crew photograph that they put in the August addition and Rudy is the guy to the far right with the sunglasses on.
He is 102 in November and still driving.
My direct e-mail is p.aldwinckle@ntlworld.com should you wish to get in touch direct. Any help with any information would be greatfully appriciated.
