In 1900-and -frozen -to death,Pontius was learning to fly,and having just gone solo at B-D ,after shutting-down and laying on the grass after the leg-trembling sortie in the mighty Beast, a painter-and decorator approached Him,to say that the aircraft was going in for Servicing and a repaint,but had forgotten what colour it was to be(he didn`t want his Line Manager to think ill of Ps and Ds ,so he thought he`d ask The Pilot).
As luck would have it,the clouds parted and Pontius, who was still deafened after an hour grinding around the Circuit at 2200 RPM, as were the good Folk of Amesbury, jumped up with Joy pointing upwards and yelling ” Yellow Sun,” as it now appeared in the Cerulean Heavens.. The P and D ,leaped up and down as well,as The Great One had spoken to him,so he rushed off to get on with his scraping and stripping,priming and painting…..and the rest is history….!!
The aircraft is not `owned` by ETPS,it is only loaned ,so that Fighter-jocks can try flying a real aeroplane…… Pon…errr Sycamore..
Wow, I always knew BD was considered quite important to the RAF but I never knew it was as important to ‘him’ as well! 😮
