The Gathering Storm - a photo on Flickriver

             Pondering on the fate of the day to come - will all the boys get back home safe & sound . Soon the bell to Scramble will ring and it will be time to take off as soon as possible . Cannot get stuck on the ground with the Merlin running as the clock is ticking - if you take more than 5 minutes to get airborne the engine of the Spitfire will overheat !!
 Once airborne and away to the target area adrenaline is pumping and the training kicks in until safely back down to the airfield - hopefully !! 
  Maybe another sortie or two will need to be carried out and then tomorrow it will all happen again , the job is never done !!

Please view large to see the pilot deep in thought !!
