As there has been no challenge can we now agree Ken Wallis is the oldest P1 in the UK/Europe?

I've been privileged enough to meet Ken Wallis on a couple of occasions and can honestly say I have never met a nicer, more interesting, friendly, more welcoming, knowledgeable and enthusiastic person in my life.

He truly is an inspirational man. He has more get up and go than many a quarter of his age.

I don't know if he's the oldest but he certainlt doesn't give any impression that he might give up any time soon.
