From the moment I joined, I loved the RAF.

Towards the end, with American influence, there was a bit of jitterbugging going on.

We are so privileged in this country to have such freedom.

Wherever, however, we get the job done

You never train for the war you fight

We do our best at the very edge of our limits.

I was nineteen, streetwise but very unsophisticated

I realised something was wrong. The engine had cut out

There was a certain amount of tampering with the rules

With every deployment, the threat level was getting higher

Ladies don't sit at sherry evenings.

I was thinking that if I got shot it didn't matter.
