Thumbs up After 70 yrs., WWII B-17 gunner, 94, revisits Britain. And dies quietly there...





Melvin Rector was a gunner on the famous Memphis Belle (a film was made about this aircraft and crew). He returned to England for a visit, the first time since he left in 1945, where he passed away aged 94. He would have slipped quietly away but people turned out to honour and remember him at his funeral. Luke Hanrahan reports.

Salute!
