Final Check Last Thoughts

The Men are scared Sir But a word from you would allay there fears They wonder if she can make the trip ? Will she bring us all home safely ? Can she withstand this perilous mission into whence we journey ? We believe and place our faith in you we stand 100% behind you to a Man So unto Gods great sky and hands this tarmac runway and Aeroplane thrust Fate is causing butterfly turbulence in hollow stomachs humming to the backfire of Rolls Royce engines Twitching , Scratching , Jumping Blood and Heart Thumping Right Lads Any last thoughts Final Checks complete Let's get this over and done with And make it home as quick as possible and in 1 piece Otherwise see you on the other side It's been 1 hell if a ride It's been a privilege and honor Boys

Cheers Jan Thank you ever so much as always. Did you hear the story about some idiot firing fireworks into a Memorial Celebration. Only in the U.K . Shameless
