Cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women
Henry Allingham, one time world's oldest man, WWI veteran and founding member of the RAF, put his long life down to "cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women"

He has earned his rest more than most and I hope he is at peace.

RIP.
At least he had a very long life, although must have seen things we couldn't imagine in WW1.
