Clayton's poppy fly

[wingman]

Spencer asked me to tie a fly in remembrance of his great uncle Clayton, who was killed while flying lancasters over the alps during the war. Not sure why he asked me but it was my pleasure and honour to tie it in remembrance of such a brave hero and indeed all those other brave men and women who lost their lives in the war and also today in afghanistan. So I had this idea of a parachute fly falling gently down similar to the poppies on remembrance sunday and obviously it's tied as a symbolic gesture and not to attract the attention of every trout in the neighbourhood but I'm sure they'd find it interesting to look at but maybe not for a meal.
