Wings Over Dagenham
 
Crun:
Mr. Seagoon, nnn-I have got here the plans of my proposed portable aerodrome.
Seagoon:
Ahh! Let's have a look.
Seagoon:
Mmmm. What do you call it Mister Crun?
Crun:
Erm. "Croydon Airport".
Seagoon:
Oh. And where are you going to build it?
Crun:
At Croydon.
Seagoon:
I say! How splendid. That'll save changing the name!
Crun:
Yes. Now then, is there any question?
Bannister:
Um, ah, how are you going to build this aerodrome?
Crun:
Er, I was going to build it... flat.
Seagoon:
Well I I had intended... After consulting certain graphs and measures, and having architectural surveys of certain Grecian soup recipes and other rare nyakamooieeoii... umm... I was going to build it flat.
Seagoon:
Does that mean aeroplanes can land on it?
Crun:
Well, now that you've asked me a straightforward question, I have no option, na-er, but to give you a direct answer... What was the question again?
Seagoon:
Does that mean aeroplanes can land on it?
Crun:
Land on what?
Seagoon:
The aerodrome!
Crun:
Ohh! Am I building one of those?
Seagoon:
Yes, and you... you're calling it "Croydon Airport".
Crun:
Splendid! Then I can build it near Croydon.
Seagoon:
The very place for it!
