Sticky Ends.

All that was left of Black Magic was a seat.

All of the well-known jockeys made it through the race, but I sometimes muse at the sticky ends that some of the 'Golden-Age' pilots met. Just as examples;- Scotty blew his brains out after the war. His copilot TCB got sliced and diced by an airscrew in '36, and Amy Johnson similarly by the screw of a ship during the war. Jimmy Mollison basically drank himself to death after the war. It'd be quite interesting to find out where they are all buried.
