Gaining An R.A.F Pilots Brevet In WW II

[Danny42C]

Been indisposed for a few days, so:

Fantome,
Lovely picture ! The only animal who can beat a King Cobra to the draw. Said the birds:"who hath been our saviour ? - let us know his name !
"It is Rikki-Tikki-Tavi with the eyes of flame !"
Don't know "Tembo" (after my time, I think !)

jeffb,
Was a story that, lost in fog over the UK with fuel short, a Wellington crew decided to abandon ship. Seems that nobody told the rear gunner - or he missed the order on intercom - the aircraft descended slowly until it made a rather bumpy belly landing in a field not far from base. He (unharmed) expressed his indignation on intercom, only to find he was on his own !
The others landed far back, and had a long and arduous trek home (serves 'em right !)
Another tale was of a bomber crew who baled out one night over Gemany, but landed apart. Pilot dumped his parachute and started to walk into a nearby town to give himself up. Found his Nav hanging from the first lamp post.

Olympus,
Was he by any chance the chap who crashed through a German convent roof and landed on a (luckily unoccupied) nun's bed ?

mmitch,
Missed it ! Must try on iplayer. (Lucky devil - hope he wasn't solo !)

Thanks to you all, Danny.
