Mr Johnson was the last surviving original member of RAF 617 Squadron's famous "Dambusters" raid of 1943.

He died peacefully at his care home in Westbury on Trym, Bristol, surrounded by his family, a source told the PA news agency.

Following the death of his wartime colleague, Fred Sutherland, in January 2019, Johnson became the last survivor of the original flying members of 617 Squadron.

On 25 November 2022, Mr Johnson, who retired from the RAF as a squadron leader, celebrated his 101st birthday.
