TOM "GINGER" NEIL

What a very upsetting and sad occasion it is today 
One of the last remaining fighter pilots has passed away 
Known to his mates as good as good old Ginger
He put the Germans through the ringer 

Tom "Ginger " Neil was in Squadron 249 in WW2
He fought for freedom for me and you 
Tom received the Distinguished Flying Cross 
When it came to flying he was certainly the boss 

In life everyone shall live and everyone shall die 
Always remember Ginger when you look at the sky
