RA Mitchell 1895 – 1937    A Legacy

The wood of England

As secured in the past

Now put to the future

As colours pinned to the mast

Skin laid over

Struts as skeletal design

This was his creation

Sculptured art sublime

In his minds eye

To spit fire at the foe

In the heights of the sky

 

To scorn at the hordes

Come settle the score

Our chariots aloft

Scoff at the minnows below

By favour endowed

These fighting steeds

Inherently designed

Empowering their right

To thrust man and machine

Against mountainous odds

In the plethora of time

 

A miracle of resolve

Made a vision fly

One mans genius

Climbing to the heights

Tight on the turn

Soaring shift of power endowed

A driven streak

Swooping and flowing

As if in a dream

Graceful, fulfilling

Engaging with speed

 

And of the man

Who created this craft

Was all the while

Fighting his own rearguard

Struck by the cancer

That does for so many

But when all was done

He kept to his aim

To the end of the game

But sadly lost his battle

Before ours was won

 

He would have been proud

Of his legacy left

For the band of brothers

As the bard did foretell

Pulling together

To save the day

To scatter the foe

Their fate to plummet

To the sacrificial earth below

His epitaph simply stating

That to read

He won the day

In our hour of need
