@IntrovertProbss A quote from a Peanuts cartoon

@MooGooAcu Your poem brings the Flanders and Sean song "Slow Train" to my mind
They have the same sense of sorrow and loss

[Gordon Bott @gordon_bott]

@BeatlesEveryDay This is my favourite and beautiful song
Its only blemish is the lyric "With every mistake we must surely be learning"
George certainly got that wrong unfortunately but we were all so optimistic in the 60's

@ron_eisele From that view it looks like the bomb aimer is over the target half an hour before the pilot

@DreyfusJames That's how it started with me four months ago. I'm now recovering from an operation to remove the stage 1 cancer from my right lung that was discovered on an unrelated X ray

Yes, it's been a trial but it saved me from a worse experience if it hadn't been found early.

@bakwasbandkrein How about my name, Gordon
It's been ok for me 75 years

@FennellJW This is the first time I've heard this story
Where's it from?
I know a Rod Banks as an expert on leaded fuels who worked before the war with RR to prevent "knocking" and an Ernest Hives as General Manager of the whole RR organisation and not all technical .

Getting things done in Britain:

How Sgt. Rod Banks and the Mosquito shadow modification network gave Mosquitos the extra ooph to avoid Luftwaffe fighters.

Rod Banks was a lowly engine fitter at RAF Marham, exceptional engineer and former Rolls Royce apprentice.
