Hooked Head, Hooked Feet
"I sit in the top of the wood, my eyes closed.
Inaction, no falsifying dream
Between my hooked head and hooked feet:
Or in sleep rehearse perfect kills and eat.
The convenience of the high trees!
The air's buoyancy and the sun's ray
Are of advantage to me;
And the earth's face upward for my inspection.
My feet are locked upon the rough bark.
It took the whole of Creation
To produce my foot, my each feather:
Now I hold Creation in my foot
Or fly up, and revolve it all slowly -
I kill where I please because it is all mine.
There is no sophistry in my body:
My manners are tearing off heads -
The allotment of death.
For the one path of my flight is direct
Through the bones of the living.
No arguments assert my right:
The sun is behind me.
Nothing has changed since I began.
My eye has permitted no change.
I am going to keep things like this."
~ Ted Hughes, 1930-1998 ~

In the early days, an arrangement with Air India enabled travellers to check in at Flights Birmingham depot with luggage transferred directly airside at Heathrow. This facility necessitated vehicles being fitted with additional top front and rear marker lights to enable them to enter working areas of the airport - a feature now common on many coaches but originally unique to Flights fleet
