Flight-Elegy is an Elegy for the RAF pilot and violinist Peter Gibbs. He died in mysterious circumstances. He took off at dusk in his plane from a remote sea-lochside spot in Western Scotland, never to return. His body was later found without a scratch or a trace of sea salt a few hundred yards inland. The plane has not been found to this day.
