"Once committed to an attack, fly in at full speed. After scoring crippling or disabling hits, I would clear myself and then repeat the process. I never pursued the enemy once they had eluded me. Better to break off and set up again for a new assault. I always began my attacks from full strength, if possible, my ideal flying height being 22,000 ft because at that altitude I could best utilize the performance of my aircraft. Combat flying is based on the slashing attack and rough maneuvering."

Even they who are blessed with the visive faculty may (though familiarity make it less observed) find therein sufficient cause of admiration.”

So we eradicate the 'dementors', encourage the positive people, and that spreads around to create the team spirit we have here”
