RIP Peter.

Another brave soldier leaves us .

I had total admiration for the glider pilots. Did they volunteer for that most dangerous of jobs?

RIP

Nick

Ade very sorry to hear about your friend.

Wide wings away in the fathomless sky,
Courses charted true and straight,
Heroes are your cargoes now,
Destination-- Valhalla's gate.

Joyously they laughed and lived!
Gloriously they fought and won!
Kin they are to all the god's,
To stars, and winds and burnished sun!
This poem was written durring the war for a glider pilot. I thought it fit.
