Is that pilot still alive today since this was from 2005?

Really enjoyed this window to another time. Great sift.

I've been lucky enough to see a few working Spitfires. I'll be sad when they're all gone. All the more reason to capture the stories of these remaining pilots.

I found the narrators voice very annoying....glad I didn't give up on this because of it.
