OK, so this is actually me...goofing around at Piestany Museum. But it isn't that often you get the chance to sit in the pilot's seat of a Hind
Its gonna rain, its gonna rain till the levee breaks, a tidal wave of fear and pain washes us away, another fight into the night until nothing else remains, how do we find harbour from the Hurricane?
