On 2nd October 1975 I was one of two pilots flying this HS125 out of Hatfield in the South of England in very bad weather. In the event we hit a flock of seagulls on takeoff and had to make an emergency landing back in Hatfield. Later that night in a hotel, with only the clothes I stood up in and my Bible, God led me to James 4:13-17. I was reminded of the incident today as I read the same passage. Billy Graham says concerning the brevity of life; “Don’t live as if this life will continue for ever. It won’t. Instead live with eternity in view.”
