"...Where are our Air Force? The men who are supposed to protect us from this kind of thing? Hand me the phone Balders: 'Message for CAS, ACM Sir Hugh Massingbird-Massingbird VC DFC and bar. Message reads 'WHERE ARE YOU, YOU BA$TARD?!'"

(Signal arrives from HQ STC):

"Sorry for not mounting immediate CAS sortie STOP Due to higher priorities the RAF is currently employed elsewhere STOP Conversion to AD Typhoon, investing in re-jigged Nimrods and investing in people, paper, new rucksacks and new no. 1's requires us all to see the big picture STOP Carry on boys, grand job you're doing! Don't ever STOP"

By the way Max, how' it going? Are you in or out yet?
