He wore a pair of silver wings.....old song circa 1942
I think that the very interesting spate of wings memories makes my previous point that the achievement of "wings" should always be made a moment that would stay with you for all your life.
I have often wondered what, apart from the obvious effect of wartime flying, has been the impact of those hard won wings on one's life ?
I can answer that, in my case, having spent nearly three years of my life in the air , that it gave me, literally, a completely new dimension and made me realise that, when faced with hard decisions or even smaller problems, you were not "earthbound" and could look at a problem from other angles....possibly I am now discussing "lateral" thinking ?
I just thought that I would throw this thought into the Arena. What difference, if any, have those wings made to you ? Reg.
For Cricketers. I have just noticed "Post"222. A Double Nelson. Where did that come from, Horatio ?
