4)It was the most amazing summer camp that we have ever had. My friend Jonathan and I decided to join the flying-school. There was rigorous training and we gained a lot of expertise, Jonathan in charting the course of flying and I in flying the plane. 25 May 2010 was the Red Letter Day as we were to fly a plane for nearly half an hour without an instructor. At 6:15 GMT we took the flight, Jonathan as a navigator and I the aviator. We remembered all the instructions given at the academy and we were transmitted signals at frequent intervals. The day was clear but windy. We were skirting hills and were flying along the coast. Suddenly, the weather turned turbulent we cabled our position asking for advice. But unfortunately there was no communication from the other end. All of a sudden, we heard an explosion. The fuel tank of our plane caught fire due to the lightning. We immediately decided to abandon the plane and donned the parachutes that were available. We were blown off 55-60 kms away from the coast and we landed in the outskirts of a dense forest. We were uninjured but hungry and thirsty. We ate some wild fruit hoping it was safe. But unluckily it was disastrous for Jonathan as he had dysentery after that. We remembered our instructor’s clear and precise instructions in case of such an emergency. We discussed various strategies and decided to implement to the core the life saving strategies. We started exploring the forest. We must have wandered for about an hour or so along the coast when my eyes suddenly fell on something red in the crevice of a big rock. I went closer to it and to my great happiness and relief I saw a raft. It was stowed away in a cosy nook. Oh! What a relief it was! We were successful in rowing our way back. In the meanwhile, the coastal guards were hunting for us. In an instant we were celebrities.
