Thank you Lou for this traditional by now Christmas story.
And speaking of traditions, something tells me the German soldiers were at a disadvantage when it came to Christmas spirit and gifts associated with it. It appears each year they were receiving their very highly sought after lump of coal.

Merry Christmas to all pilots. May the number of landings always equal the number of take offs.

The connecting rod out of my brain, my brain,
From out of my arse take the camshaft,
And assemble the engine again."
