Munro ‘The last surviving Dambusters pilot has withdrawn his war medals from auction, and agreed to gift them to a museum in exchange for a philanthropist’s donation.
Les Munro has accepted the offer of British philanthropist Lord Ashcroft to donate $150,000 to assist in the upkeep of the Bomber Command Memorial in London and will gift the medals to Auckland’s Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT)…’
Lord Ashcroft has a history of buying Victoria Crosses that come up for auction. Good for him.

    Good result in the end.

    A disgrace that Mr Munro had to go to all those lengths to get his buddy’s war memorial looked after.

    Even the commies know to pay their respects to the old guard unlike these Western governments these days…
