Wonderful news
Unfortunately, Mike I cant see your link. If I try and log into my Google account using my registered email address, I get directed to a page asking me to add Gmail to my account. As I don't want a Gmail address, I declined and was unable to view your link.
Anyway, back to the more important issue of George 'Johnny' Johnson finally being awarded his MBE. This is great news, but should have happened decades ago. Also, all of the other crew members deserved the same.
For anyone else having problems with the Google link, here is an alternative from the BBC-

This quote particularly struck me -
'he said he was indebted to the thousands of people who signed a petition calling for his wartime service to be recognised'
He feels indebted to us? That's totally the wrong way round. We are forever indebted to himself and all the others of that time who in many cases gave everything, that we can now live in a free and democratic society.
