I then realized my appearance was a bit odd. My right leg was no longer with me. It had caught somewhere in the top of the cockpit as I tried to leave my Spitfire. ↗

I tried to make myself as pretty as possible and even then I thought I was ugly. I found it madly difficult to go out, to show myself. ↗
