My condolences old chap. I can understand how you feel - I too lost a friend when we were both young (age 14). I don't know all the details, but he was ill, vomited during the night, and choked.
Darn ! He managed to fly his Smorgasbord MkIIf under the radar, and got through the cable and parachute defences !
Maybe we should float a trawler-full of bacon just off the coast of Scotland - that might tempt him back out of the country !
And he still hasn't brought back those Swedish blondes he promised !!
Well, it's that time of year again, when the UK will be somewhat....safe, for almost three weeks!
A bit later than usual this time, not that I mind, plus the return ticket only cost £103 this time!
