'Jimmy' James lived in Shropshire in Ludlow about 35 miles from where I live. Naturally there has been a lot in the local press about him.

Look at some of the info about him on the Radio Shropshire link.

This is the Shropshire Star link. Its especially nice that the pall bearers were young RAF chaps.
