The Warren twins. - colinhotham - 07-19-2009
On my recent trip to Canada I had the honour to meet Duke Warren at the Comox Museum in British Columbia. He was one of identical twins who joined the RCAF together on the 14th March 1941. They eventually were posted to the UK, became fighter pilots and flew with the RAF through to the end of WW2 and after. Of special interest to me was the fact that he operated in the Mediterranean theatre and flew from Lentini West on Sicily.
He kindly signed a copy of his book 'Gemini Flight' for me.

Jolly good! Wow, look at those medals. That's quite a chestful.
He still looks like a very spry man. What an honor to meet him in person.

This is one of the rare cases that I can look at a photo from decades ago and tell it's the same person. Amazing pictures.

Thank you civilwargal, exactly what I thought when I met him!

Don't you just love meeting characters like that?
