Hey Airman! (airwoman) RAF Beads

I did a special design for this , ok here are my thoughts
My youth was spend in and out of airforce base, as my dad was in the Royal Dutch Airforce,
I have made many friends there and remember Vietnam and the poor young lads from the USA back from Vietnam .. etc etc Falklands, Iraq etc etc so many bad days. army, airforce, navy.
I have lost friends at war, at peace.

The Airforce isnot just about planes flying high,
it couldnot survive without the ground staff supporting the flyer's.

So here are my thoughts , only words not a poem just words.

For Charles and Robert and all Services from now , in the future and from the past.

Hey Airman... yes you! ... We know you are flying high,

Are the skies blue? (blue trace)
Is the sun warm? (yellow trace)
Are you flying high?
You watch out, be safe you carry our hearts!

No Angels must come upon you but if they do!
They will care and hold you in a safe place.

Hey Airman, Are you flying high?
Do you see the land below?
My trollbaby (Army) is there trying to protect you,
Do you see the clear sea below?
but if you go down.. our seals (Navy) will find you.

Hey Airman, are you still flying high,
Holding our flags up high.. (Bead Impressions Dutch flag)
We know you are trying to protect us and help us ,

Should you have to eject and fall and have to hide,
Look in the bushes there will be berries for food and moisture;- don't forget now!

You fly high and if you reach that paradise, high with the birds ..
We hope the Angels protect you , protect you to get your wings.
