Happy 100th birthday Sir. 🎂🥳
Today is this legend Harry’s 100th Birthday! I don’t suppose you’d give him a shoutout. He has been pretty ill of late and insisted he wanted to make his 100th birthday- there’s been many times we didn’t think he’d make it.
Flight Lieutenant William Harry Hughes DFC, DFM, AE
Harry was a navigator with 102 Squadron in February 1943. 102 SQN sustained the 2nd highest loss rate in Bomber Command during WW2.
Out of the 76 operations he carried out, only 3 were outside of Germany.
Harry is only one of two people still alive carrying the DFC and the DFM. ❤️❤️❤️
