After a Dining-In night spoof of 'The Dam Busters' had gone badly wrong (for the CO's dog), Smithers found that "working next to Mavis Enderby and Bag Enderby" did not mean a posting to RAF Spilsby.

Biggles really liked the sound of "rolling a round with a bunch of women" until reality set in....

No one had spotted the typo in the Requirements' Document until the officer on the weapons desk at PE began work on the Runway Catering Bomb". (The Grauniad once described JP233 as such in a GW1 article).

Smithers had successfully made his way to Stalag luft III's kitchen, "so far so good", he thought - but he couldn't shake the feeling he forgotten something!.

Val! intended to post at ENDEX

A Royal Air Force officer joins women war workers at a bench as he attempts to make exploder pellets during a visit to a munitions factory, somewhere in Britain. He is wearing a mob cap on his head, similar to those worn by the women, although it looks a little small for him!

Although doing quite well in the Munitions Factory Exchange programme, Hoskins was quietly wondering to himself how some of the ladies would do next week when trying to land the Wellington on one engine.

Biggles wondered whether entering the Ena Sharples look alike competition would actually count towards his plea of insanity.
