Johnny Johnson (RAF officer) Johnny Johnson (RAF officer) Squadron Leader George Leonard "Johnny" Johnson, (born 25 November 1921) is a retired Royal Air Force officer and Britain's last survivor of the original members of No. 617 Squadron RAF and of Operation Chastise, the "Dambusters" raid of 1943. George Johnson (known within the family as Leonard) was the sixth and last child born to Mary Ellen (née Henfrey) and Charles Johnson. He was born in the village of Hameringham in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. His mother died when he was three, leaving his father, a farm foreman, to bring up the family
RAF Scampton well as Lincolnshire's aviation engineering heritage and the Dambusters Raid. It is hoped the project will secure the future of the base and compliment the proposals to establish an air show at Scampton. It was hoped that the facility would be opened by 2018 in order to mark the centenary of the creation of the Royal Air Force, however that proved to be somewhat ambitious. The council's current idea is to operate the facility in tandem with continued military activity at the base. The remnants of a Roman Villa are situated to the southwest of RAF Scampton.
