The Ministry of Air
Written around the time of the Coalition. Remember that? A government of small talents, or something like that. Anyway, good luck with this. Image is PD Source Wikipedia.com

Perhaps
I have no answers. If this provokes outrage, then that's good. Israel has the worst possible leader at the worst possible time. Why does a nation of Persians feel so strongly that Israel should not exist? (I am being disingenuous, it is nothing to do with ethnicity, surely we all know that?) Anyway, if your outrage leads to ill-thought out comments, I won't be answering them. No known copyright issues.

very much. You've a good eye for small town life. I knew lots of Bindys when I was that age. It was funny when they came back, they looked the same but they were very different. I never really understood it until I joined the RAF at 21 and went...

Written like an 8-and-a-half-year-old Joyce - that's James Joyce, not Joyce Grenfell... Although... No seriously, folks, this captures the breathless jumble of thoughts, half-understood things, fears and hopes of almost any kid of that age....

A slice of history, almost 40 years ago. I was in uniform then, Air Force blue, but admired those at Faslane and Greenham. Futile in the end, but what days of innocence and belief.
