Vale Les Bowden AFSM
20.07.1938 - 01.10.2026
Today we farewelled Les "Grumpy" Bowden at a beautiful memorial service held by his family.
Les was one of our longest serving volunteers and staff members, starting in 1997 and continued for over 31 years.
He did so much for Fighter World over this time and we would like to say thank you to his wife Jenny for her support. He was a great character with a warm heart and will be sorely missed.
RIP Grumpy 🩵

Worth the wait! What amazing machines. Thanks to 100 SQN for bringing them to Williamtown. The Supermarine Spitfire Mk VIII A58-602 was delivered to the Air Force in April 1945. The CAC CA-18 Mustang A68-170 was delivered from Fisherman’s Bend on 23rd February, 1950.
