"One of the last survivors of the Battle of Britain, Flight Lieutenant Terry Clark, has died aged 101. Mr Clark, originally from Croydon, had been living at a North Yorkshire care home where he died on Thursday, the eve of the 75th anniversary of VE Day. His death leaves John "Paddy" Hemingway as the last member of "The Few" who took to the skies in summer 1940. Mr Clark served as a radar operator during World War Two, defending the UK against Luftwaffe attacks. The Battle of Britain Memorial said Mr Clark joined No 615 Squadron of the Auxiliary Air Force at Kenley in March 1938 as an aircrafthand, before training to become an air gunner, flying Hawker Hectors on Army Co-operation duties. He joined No 219 Squadron at Catterick on 12 July 1940, two days into the Battle of Britain, and later trained on radar as a Radio Observer, flying in Beaufighters." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-52592965
