Whenever i feel stressed/down/under pressure I find it comforting to compare my situation with that of my Grandfather nearly 70 years ago. He was a Flying Officer, Rear Gunner, in Lancaster Bombers during the Second World War and before he died he wrote this superb account of a day in the life (click to open).
Suddenly, dealing with a class of 30 kids or ploughing through paperwork seems a little tame compared with the threat of a Messerschmitt 109 on your tail.
