John 'Paddy' Hemingway: Last surviving Battle of Britain pilot dies aged 105 Hemingway never saw his role in the Battle of Britain as "anything other than doing the job he was trained to do," the RAF said, adding that "his courage in the face of overwhelming odds demonstrated his sense of duty and the importance of British resilience".
