Actually the Japs weren’t the only Kamikaze.

My great-uncle Gerald “Argyle” McNaughton was a Scottish Kamikaze.

He crashed his DeHavilland Mosquito in my grandfather’s scrapyard.

Aye, was he a member of the Queen’s Own McKamikaze Highlanders?

Too bad for the family scrap business as the Mosquito was made out of spruce and plywood!

You looked simply smashing on Boxing Day in Uncle Gerry's sox! and now we all know how you got them

BTW, the markings translate to (1) "Keep Dirty Side Down, Painted Side Up." (2) Port = Reft, Starboard = Light.
