RIP Terry Clark - Battle of Britain Veteran
We’re saddened to hear the news that Flt Lt TERRY CLARK DFM AE has passed away at the grand age of 101.
A WOp/Air Gunner with 219 Sqn on Blenheims during the Battle of Britain, in October 1940 the squadron converted to Beaufighters and he retrained to be a Radar Operator, assisting with 5 victories. He later joined 488 Squadron (RNZAF) as a Navigator on de Havilland Mosquitos equipped with Mk.8 radar where he assisted with a further victory.
We had the pleasure of his company at many events over the years, both at the UK Gallery and airshows across the country.
A kind and energetic man, he always brightened a room and will be deeply missed. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.
We’ll raise a glass to you, Terry. RIP
