Danny42 was looking for light hearted answers, by which I guess he means us to imagine what we might have written for ourselves.

In the mode of Spike Milligan mentioned earlier, I can see myself as the student pilot who declares "I knew I should not have skipped breakfast" or who later says "I did not think I was that low".

Her Majesty never let me ride any suitable aircraft (like an Me 163, if you are asking) but, if she had and if it found me out, I would have hoped for a good band at my funeral to play John Adams and for my stone to exclaim "A short ride in a fast machine".
