      Chapter One

      Air Base Cambrai Primary School

      January 29th 2010

      Log 2010 1.1

      Squadron Leader Amy took up a position attached to my wing. Her uniform wasn’t up to scratch and Group Captain Beaufort was not pleased. I could tell as much. Her tunic was dirty, not the regulation blue, and her footwear did not apply to safety standards. Hair was short but ragged and personal hygiene required attention. I moved my equipment to accommodate space for her tools and continued with my tasks. Corporals Stefan Sikorsky and Costa Catalina were sniggering under their breath but my ‘red’ stare put a stop to that! I don’t tolerate insubordination in my wing.

      Wing Commander Harry Lancaster

      Chapter Two

      It’s recess Harry. Time to go outside. Look, our new classmate Amy is standing outside by herself. You might want to go and help her out, show her where things are? Looks like Amanda has left her already, Harry’s teacher Mr Beaufort said kindly, coffee cup in hand, as he waited for Harry to close his diary and leave.

      Oh sorry Mr B I was thinking about something else.

      Not a problem Harry, you often are, now hurry up please I’m on duty today.

      Harry grabbed his apple, muesli bar and drink bottle and left the classroom. Mr B, as the students called him, raced off to the staff room for his coffee.

      Amy Johnson was standing next to the wooden veranda railing of classroom 6B. She stood avoiding, ‘the stare’ of girls whispering among themselves beneath a dusty gum in the yard. Her thoughts were disturbed when Harry approached.

      Harry said, Wouldn’t it be great if they put jiggly things into undies to make them move when you wanted to feel good. Then if you were bored you’d just squeeze your cheeks together and the wiggly thing would jiggle and make you feel all warm inside. What do you reckon?

      Amy stared at Harry for a moment with vacant surprise. She realised that this boy was being serious and replied, Your mum wouldn’t like it because the wiggly thing would probably ruin the washing machine and she wouldn’t be able to iron your undies in a perfect straight line.

      Harry considered this reply, Does your mum iron undies? he asked.

      No she doesn’t iron anything but some mums do.

      Do what?

      Iron undies, she said with a smile, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly.

      Oh I guess so. Harry thought for a short time and ate some of his muesli bar while Amy continued watching the mess of kids in the yard. After
