Default I'm one part short of the equation

For becoming the oldest australian :P

Quote:
Europe's oldest man, World War I veteran Henry Allingham, has marked his 112th birthday by attending a flypast of fighter aircraft from the Battle of Britain.

The Briton - who attributes his longevity to "cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women" - will attend a display of vintage Spitfires at a Royal Air Force base in Lincolnshire, eastern England.

Born in 1896, when Queen Victoria was on the British throne and the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, Mr Allingham saw active service in the Battle of Jutland in World War I and was one of the first members of the RAF.

In civilian life, he worked for carmaker Ford.

Now resident in a care home for blind former military personnel, he said he was in robust health.

"I'm a lucky guy. I am looking forward to a wonderful day and to seeing the family. I just hope I don't let the side down. People ask me how I've done it, and I just say that I look forward to another tomorrow."
and that part is being a ford carmaker :( but i guess the other things that have contributed to him bein that old, im stocked up on hehe
