Default John Kilbracken: died 2006/08/14

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/st...844686,00.html

John Kilbracken, wartime Swordfish pilot and author of "Bring back my
Stringbag" died yesterday.

Note the Press Association's slight over-estimate of the range
of roles the Swordfish could fill: I'm pretty sure it was never
operated as a fighter...
