Their Airships ought to invite "Lord Ian of Ecclefechin" down to debrief them on the demise of this erstwhile great Air Force, and how they could start to put things right. Perhaps Beagle could go along to fill in some of the details required, and The Mistress could be spokesperson for "the little ladies" - man, what a team!!
Thanks for the excellent times we have had together Ian, you will be sorely missed - We could actually run a "wish I had'nt said/done/seen thread, made up entirely of your exploits....... but let's not!! Here's to a Happy Retirement for you & L.
Cheers, JR
