A young Pilot Officer Prune
Was posted to fly a balloon
Ascent was his fashion
But donuts his passion
Poor Prune's balloon sank far too soon
(Not part of caption: Danny, good to have you back on board.)

Fans of low-level aviaton photography had plenty of time to catch the latest RAF equipment as it screamed down the valley.
