I've no connection to Ben, the RAF or any of our armed forces, I'm just joe public who appreciates the sacrifice they are prepared to make, and in this case, sadly did.

The pictures of Ben's school days had a tear in my eye ( not something I thought a YouTube video would make me a man of 34 do ) as I left school hoping to join the RAF as aircrew and have those same kind of pictures.

Seems everyone that knew Ben is very proud of him - rightfully so I think. As the video said - fly high... RIP

a true hero i was very touched by the video ben and others who fall for our freedom will never be forgotten as true heros and i for one never will.

i had a tear in my eye watching this

[wfboss]

Wow...i started to watch this video because i share the same name as this man. Benjamin Knight. I watched his video and it brought tears to my eyes, the most shocking part of all...my date of birth is January 28, 1981. RIP Ben.

Age shall not weary them,

nor shall the years condemn;

at sunset and in early morn

we will remember them.

For some in time of strife

as victims of a war,

in foreign lands, both near and far,

have yielded up their life

A sad loss - my condolences to all of his family and friends.

[darrenkeirle]

I played squash with Ben a few times. He was an awesome bloke and a great talent. He did not deserve to perish at such a young age. Rest in peace.

I stumbled across this video by accident, I hope you don't mind me posting but I just wanted to say how great I thought the video is and how great a guy your brother seemed to be. I feel humbled by his bravery and I wish you and your family all the very best. GC
