Somebody had a very finely tuned sense of bad-taste irony to come up with that!
OK, aviators - what about Alcock & Brown - that's just gotta be appropriate for this place!

I vote for Biggles....what, what do you mean he wasn't real...course he was. Ginger, Algy and he defeated The Hun single (well, triple) they flew Camels! (No mean feat in itself: have you ever tried to get one to walk??)
On a serious note, thanks to Easy for the link to the battle of Britain 'Roll of Honour': I read it spellbound. It put my little sniffly cold, mortgage worries and workload in perspective. Well done Easy
