I got a severe reprimand from the c.o for doing a victory roll over the airfield after my first victory. And well you should have Sir! No proper English Gent would parade his exploits in front of the whole squadron! But then what do I know, I would have tried it myself if I thought I would not kill myself.

Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from either end. BOC Member since....I can't remember!

Getting back alive! That’s success. Unfortunately... my second patrol was fatal Engaged two Heinkels and damaged both, but my engine was hit and rapidly stopped. I was aiming for a dead stick wheels up landing at Manston. Came in lovely, slid along on the old girls belly, no problem, she was straight as you like... then the dreaded OBD fence arrived... Hurri instantly turned into scrap metal and blew up!... lol! I'm pretty sure in reality, a Merlin III engine would have smashed through the fence like it wasn't there, but, Hey Ho... such is life

unfortunately my joystick arm is out of commission for a few weeks (fell over, tore some things, old man). But I booted her up and got in the cockpit to have a look around. punched the throttle to full, and careered into the stands where a second squad was parked up...it was not pretty. See you in the air chaps.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
