RAF hero Leslie Temple dies aged 93
Tributes paid to Second World War fighter pilot who passed away on Sunday
Tributes were paid this week to a renowned Second World War fighter pilot who died on Sunday, aged 93.
War hero Leslie Temple, who was a resident of Limewood Court in Redbridge and chairman of the Ilford branch of AJEX for many years, flew 30 operations from RAF Ludford Magna in Lincolnshire.
Son-in-law Robert Simon said: “Leslie was an active member of the Jewish community and was widely known and well-liked by all who met him. He was a much-loved father, father-in-law and grandfather and will be sorely missed.”
