World War II hero airman who survived FOUR plane crashes celebrates 70 years of marriage

An airman who survived four plane crashes during World War II is celebrating 70 years of marriage today. RAF bomber navigator Jim Stafford, 96, said it was the thought of returning home to his wife Betty, 95, that kept him going during the dangerous missions.

Mrs Stafford said: 'Love got us through.'

Mr Stafford, of Felixstowe, Suffolk, said: 'Not many people can say they've done that in their lives.'

現年96歲的Jim Stafford曾是英國皇家空軍的轟炸機領航員，在二戰期間歷經四次的飛機失事，卻都沒有大礙似的奇蹟生還。今年8月28日是Jim和他95歲的妻子Betty慶祝其結婚70周年的紀念日。Jim說：「當年執行任務的時候，我都堅信著想回家陪伴在我妻子身旁的信念。」也許因為這個信念，讓Jim在經歷困苦的時候，皆能化險為夷。

Betty說：「愛，帶領我們越過重重的挑戰，讓我們堅持下來。」
Jim則表示：「應該沒有多少人能夠像我們一樣歷經過這些事情。」

• Bomber (n.) 轟炸機
