Shipwrecked Airmen

We've heard of sailors and all sorts of odd bods being shipwrecked, but until last month we didn't know that those intrepid bird men could end up on a desert isle. They didn't seem to be worried, however. There was plenty of female company and no shortage of the doings, and in the splendid tradition of the Air Force Association, they made pretty lively place out of their shipwreck home.

Did Confucius say that?
