You could just sense the occasion

Pride and pressure

The chief headhunter wanted us to join his tribe

Challenges you wouldn't have in a normal aeroplane

You'd be flying four or five feet away from the plane next to you

Pilots used their trips to Germany to stock up on duty free

You need to come out of a barrel roll the right way up

"Bleedin' Hun! Hang 'em!"

And that monument stays for all of their little angels who who didn't have the time to live, but who weren’t born because of Russia.

The night of the Scharnhorst and Gniesenau bombing we lost half the squadron

That's when the adventurous part of my life started

In the forces we were always happy to be doing our job
