I am reminded of what purported to be the final episode of "the Archers" as performed on "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" as part of the famous last words round.


In your best Joe Grundy voice: "Ooo Arrrrh. I didn't know that they used B-29s for crop spraying".


(Another was: "I'd keep your eye on that one, Harold".




Edited to add:


Beagle, I nearly got a ride in "Sally B", but unfortunately our Shackleton display take-off was before the landing time of "Sally B" at the Coventry air show some time in the early 80s. I also missed out on a Lancaster ride when having been promised one I had to go on a course. (The BBMF pilots used to bring the Lanc up to Lossie to practise circuits in another Avro tail dragger to save wear and tear. They gave passenger rides at the end of the week to say thank you).
