A news story the other day told
of the crksh,landing of, a 20 -year-
old Spitfire, 'the last survivor of
its breed of the Battle a Britain.
Far from making, me nostalgic, it
gave me a certain satisfaction.

of its demise. Lgot -so man' bad

some of the best friends I ever
niade. We took a -three -months IV-

fires in the heart of Shropshire,
in the dead of an English winter,
than which there is nothing dead,/
, What a erew we were! Poles,
Australians, Canadians.; A Norwe-
gian, a couple of Frenchmen, a
Belgian, h brace of, Nevv Zealand -
erg, an ;Irishinam; a handful- of
Seats and English, and four pilots
_from India. - And how wli ye got,
along, though so different in out-
look and upbringing! The only
ones who scrapped were the In-
dians, among themselves, -because
they were a Sikh, a Moslem, a
Christian and a Hindu, and couldn't
abide each other.
On .a winter night, We'd m.ount
our bikes, about a dozen Of us, and
head off doWn the black road for
one of the .neighboring pubs, In
out of the wet night we'd troop,
spirits as highas the sky, into
the warmth of the fireplace, and
the shining pewter, and the bar-
maid's cheeky salutation.
*
And the locals would turn frchri
their ,d arts, or- dominoes- and .thake-
their heads „as, they smiled a wei-
comp, And -the pints Would flow,
and the darts woUld flY, and in no
time at all the pub would be rack-
ing with gOod cheep and good fel-
loWship and good singing, in A doz;
en, different. accents,
My -special friends were Nils,
Van, Singh, and Paddy. We flew
in the same flight; ate and drank
together, and pursued various
young-.wonien together'. I've never
seen _one' of „therif --since,-,bnt in
thosedays we were as close as
brothers are supposed to be:
Nils Was a long, skinny Norwe-
gian, who had made hisway across
the North Seairi a, fishing, boat
with two others. He Was solemn
'and shy until he had a few beers,
then turned into a Viking. %Van
was a saturnine Belgian ex -army
officer, who had escaped via
France mid Spain, ` rotting in a'
Spanish jail for six months before
getting to. England, Both had•
trained in Canada, •
The singing was the best part.
Have you ever heard a French-
man singing, "1 wanna gale pus
like ze gale wot marree deerole
Dad?" Or a Norwegian yodelling
"Valtseeng Mateelda?" Or an
Australian 'bellowing "Along saw-
faw de la patrie, le jour, de glower
