PILOT - CHARLIE BROWN

With his impressive moustache, RAF officer Charlie Brown looks like one of 'The Few', the airmen who took on the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain in 1940.

The 53-year-old from Leasingham wasn't even born then, but he is definitely something of an ace Spifire pilot after logging 1,000 hours in the iconic fighter.

Flight Lieutenant Brown is a member of the Central Flying School Examining Wing at RAF Cranwell and Chief Flying Instructor at the RAF Cranwell Flying Club.

He also trains Spitfire pilots for the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
