My great grandfather was flying a Spitfire whilst in conflict with the germans over the land of Wales. After an hour of tactical moves and firing of bullets, my grandfather took a bullet to the back of his plane. This cause the engine to cut out and the plane spiralled out of control. Therefore he had to parachute out of the plane and luckily landed safely in Barry, Wales. This is why my grandad is called Barry!
