Quote:He parachuted down to safety

I love those flying jackets you see in museums with silk lining sewn into them, which is actually a map of where they are flying over.

It must be very disoerientating and lonely to be a pilot on the ground.

There was a programme about the Battle of Britain pilots, (on both sides) whom parachuted into the Channel, and pretty much died very quickly from what they called (I think) water chill - the shock of being dunked in cold water.....
