Lawrence Frederick Henstock was born on 20th May 1912 at Ashbourne, Derbyshire and educated at Queen Elizabeths Grammar School there.
He joined the RAF on a short service commission and began his initial training course on 10th February 1936 at the Reid and Sigrist Civil Training College at Duxford.
He went to No. 1 RAF Depot Uxbridge on 6th April for a short induction course and on the 18th he was posted to 7 FTS Peterborough for intermediate and advanced flying training.
With the course completed, Henstock joined No. 1 Squadron at Tangmere in October 1936. On 22nd March 1937 he joined 72 Squadron, then being formed at Church Fenton.
Henstock shared in the destruction of two He111's SE of Montrose on 7th December 1939. He joined 64 Squadron, also at Church Fenton, on 18th February 1940 as 'B' Flight Commander with the rank of Acting Flight Lieutenant.
Over Dunkirk on 31st May he damaged a Me110.
On 25th July he probably destroyed a Me109, shared in the destruction of another and damaged a Ju87, on 12th August he shared a Do17 and on the 18th he damaged a Do17.
Henstock flew his last operational sortie with 64 Squadron on 9th September 1940 and it is believed that he then went to CGS Warmwell, as an instructor.

In August 1943 Henstock joined the staff of HQ 9 Group at Preston and was later at 5 (P) AFU. He was released from the RAF in 1946 as a Squadron Leader.

In this still frame from the 1971 cult classic motion-picture Von Richthofen and Brown (released in France as Le Baron Rouge), actor Don Stroud looks like a true rebel. Both of the film's central characters, Captain Roy Brown (played by Stroud) and the Red Baron (played by John Phillip Law), appear to be "fighting the system" from opposite ends — Fatefully, the two don't meet until the film's conclusion. In that sense, this WWI aerial combat drama is the ultimate dichotomy... No, I tell a lie... it's simply the ultimate. In fact, it's not too much to say this film has caused outright epiphanies.
As you may know, Don Stroud did his share of acting in films and television (more than 100 films and 200 TV shows), but if he had done NOTHING apart from Von Richthofen and Brown, one would be justified nonetheless in calling him BRILLIANT. He risked his life to make the film and the outcome is magnificent !
I might add, he not only cheated death during the filming of VR&B, but this self-described "surfer dude" from Hawaii saved the life of ex-Canadian Air Force pilot Lynn Garrison as well.
God knows, it's a perfect "10" — "Brake a leg," Don!

This particularly cool dude flies F18s for a living.
This has to be one of the coolest jobs in the world - "Hi, what do you do? - I'm a fighter pilot, I fly F18s off aircraft carriers, what do you do?" Pfffft...
Oh, and apparently 'Chicks Dig This'...
This was my first shot using my newest lens - I've finally bought myself the magnificent Canon 135/2.0L - a very sound investment for any photographer. I can already tell that I'm really gonna enjoy working with this lens.
