Mr. Hemingway, born in 1919 in Dublin, served as an RAF pilot during World War II, playing a crucial role in the Battle of Britain. Known as 'The Few,' he contributed significantly to the efforts that brought an end to the war. Despite his bravery, he remained humble, often calling himself the 'Lucky Irishman.' He shared joyous memories of his comrades, who faced peril alongside him. His legacy, highlighted by UK officials, reflects a generation's profound sense of duty and sacrifice for freedom.
Eighty years ago, the courage and determination of Paddy and all our brave RAF pilots helped bring an end to the Second World War. They fearlessly flew over enemy territory to protect the UK and its Allies, risking their lives.
Paddy came from a generation who understood the importance of freedom and sacrificed so much to achieve it. The last known Battle of Britain pilot, he embodied the deep courage of that incredible generation.
