(Miles) Jeffery Game Day was a poet, who was well known as a Bristol Scout pilot during the First World War. Killed in action in 1918, the bulk of his poetry was only released after the war when a friend collected his work together and published.
In this video, David Bremner, a modern day Bristol Scout builder and pilot, recites his favourite Day poem, "On The Wings Of The Morning".
For the full text of the poem, turn Subtitles on.
