Continued from front page Arthur Page Celebrates 100 Years! A local former GP, living in Woodlands, celebrated his 100th birthday on 19th December with family and friends at a superb lunch in the New Forest. He had previously attended the Royal Marine Band performance in Portsmouth where his exploits as a dive-bomber pilot in WW2 were celebrated. Arthur joined the Fleet Air Arm in 1942, aged just 19, and took part in the battles in the Pacific aboard HMS Victorious in 1944 and 1945. He joined 849 Squadron flying a Fairey Barracuda that dived vertically towards the targets. His aircraft ditched in heavy seas but due to his flying skills Arthur and his 2 colleagues on board survived and were picked up from a life-raft and returned to the Victorious in order that he could fly another sortie the next day! He has the distinction of being the last pilot to land a Barracuda on a carrier flight deck. Arthur later flew the Grumman Avenger, capable of carrying more munitions and had a superior range but dived less steeply! Interviews with Arthur can be found on the Imperial War Museum website: www.iwm.org.uk/iwmconversations and search Arthur Page. His interviews are under item 33796. Arthur was also a founder member of New Forest Rotary and was very active even into his late nineties. He is now an honorary member but maintains a close interest in all club activities. Arthur Page
