Gruber left the mess hall and went straight to his office. He lay the twisted piece of Duralumin reverently in the centre of his desk, then unpinned several of the photographs from the wall and placed them next to it. He sat, leaning forwards, propped up on his forearms, and studied the images for the last time.

He smiled as he took in the smooth, clean lines of Wasp, lines that had inspired his own beautiful machine and that he had destroyed that morning.

He allowed himself a couple of minutes to savour the moment, then he burnt the photographs one by one, crushing their ashes in the metal waste paper basket under his desk, using the flame from the last to light his final celebratory cigar of the night.
