Welcome back - Fare Well.

First Post for me - difficult one.

Writing it was cathartic - hope it is appropriate.

We will miss you.


Farewell Fair Foxes

Colleagues, Mates, Kith and Kin,
Professional Oppos through thick and thin,
Sent to do a job they loved,
Booted, spurred and leather gloved.

Wit and banter, no-doubt a part,
Of their aviating finesse - a subtle art.
The cream of all our Albert crews,
A modest bunch - our Lyneham Muse’.

We wish them well wherever now,
A cheeky grin - a smile creased brow.
In our hearts and minds we feel,
The fact they’ve gone cannot be real.

Are they at the bar perhaps?
Such characters - such cocky chaps!
Ness-a-Guin... a festive pie,
A watchful gaze, a mindful eye.

It’s up to us who now remain,
To nurture, support and share the pain,
Of those so close, so intertwined,
And offer now – some peace of mind.

So, lets bow our heads and raise a glass,
And toast a crew of premier class.
They’ve slipped their surly bonds and flown,
Touched by you, our lives have grown.
