Nice thought GD – I count Thorny amongst my nearest and dearest, more years than either of us care to remember, more tales than could ever be told, not to mention as many miles on the clock. Courage is a strange notion – Gann reckoned pilots wear courage as a comfortable belt (keeps your pants up when needed) – I doubt many of those who 'need' such things would not realise that to even suggest Thorny had ‘courage’ would simply embarrass the chap and the notion of giving him the equivalent of a nut jobs rubber band, to remind him that courage was needed, would roll him about the floor - laughing.
He does however have a certain weakness for Tim Tams (always plural); therefore with as much pomp and ceremony as the BRB will allow – I will leave two in his flight bag, which will please both of us – he because on a long watch, back of the clock – he will find them; and smile, and myself simply because the notion of TB sitting on deck as the stars slide by, feet up on the dashboard, munching quietly on an awarded TT pleases me greatly.
Cheers Thorny.
