Truly shattering news for folks like me to whom he meant so much, but reaching 85 is no small feat after what he survived over the years. His send-off is going to be a big one.

Here's a great documentary on him from 1997 - well worth watching even if you're familiar with his story.

Rest in peace! The New Zealand warbird scene might have been very different without Sir Tim Wallis.
