Blackadder: I remember Massingbird's most famous case: the Case of the Falling Aeroplane. An aeroplane was found by the co-pilot 4,400' away from where he had left it. The Captain had the sidestick in his hand, 198 witnesses had seen him on the flight deck alone and, when the co-pilot arrived back on the flight deck, whistling a famous Lionel Richie number, the CVR captured the Captain saying "Damn, I couldn't get a photo of the VSI, my camera was stuck between my seat armrest and the stick, but trust me it was a record breaker!" Massingbird not only got him off; he got him promoted to Sqn Ldr and knighted in the Birthday Honours List. And the passengers had to pay to replace the damaged ceiling panels.
This is satire. The story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious. No identification with actual persons (living or deceased), places, buildings, and products is intended or should be inferred.
