Daring Rescue

The story is unfolding of an amazing rescue undertaken in mid atlantic by a lone Royal Naval Airman. It appears that a one eyed monoped Naval pilot rescued 32 people from an upturned umbrella 2000 miles off the coast of Ireland in his autogyro.

After landing at Shannon this naval hero, wearing his eye patch at a jaunty and heroic angle, was suitably modest about his acheivment saying that his only regret was not being able to take the umbrella under tow to claim the salvage and bolster his rum bum and bacci fund.

He denied that he was starting a willy waving competition as he had had his bitten off by a kai tai round the back of 'Ned Kellys' back in '65. However, he is more than willing to enter into a stump wiggling competition with any Crab or Brown Job who thinks that they are not man enough.
