Transcript: 

coffee with real cream, or even fresh milk in it and as much sugar as it will hold. Thank you. My, I enjoyed that.
So goodbye for now. Oh I forgot to mention, all is settled, we are separated and I am on my way to my first station to live 'on' for a month somewhere in Scotland. God it's beautiful! I'm working on Coastal Command.
So long,
Eric
