Capt Glen Dell, May you forever Rest in Peace Sir

  Captain Glen Dell 

Bron 9 April 1962
Tragically succumbed to injuries sustained in a flying accident on 12 October 2013
At Secunda Airshow.


Impressions of a Pilot

Flight is freedom in its purest form,
To dance with the clouds which follow a storm;

To roll and glide, to wheel and spin,
To feel the joy that swells within;

To leave the earth with its troubles and fly,
And know the warmth of a clear spring sky;

Then back to earth at the end of a day,
Released from the tensions which melted away.

Should my end come while I am in flight,
Whether brightest day or darkest night;

Spare me your pity and shrug off the pain,
Secure in the knowledge that I'd do it again;

For each of us is created to die,
And within me I know,
I was born to fly


— Gary Claud Stokor
