This amazingly well done solo performance by Nicholas Collett, takes us on an emotional journey, as Peter tells about his adventures as RAF Pilot with his girlfriend the Spitfire flying off into the wild blue yonder and the clear blue sky that stretches away to eternity, that one long adrenalin fuelled high. Moving back through times in his life as Mr Walker reflects upon days gone past as he enjoys the routine at the retirement home, reminding him of the routines while at the RAF. Nicholas portrays the character at different ages as Peter reflects upon many moments in his life including the fact that they stopped the invasion but at what cost?’.
An amazingly well performed solo by Nicholas Collett, mixing joyful and sombre emotions as Spitfire pilot Peter Walker reflects on his life’s journey.
