In a nasty case of "Time Warp", the RAF's MPA watches the RN put to sea.

Sat stalling it in without batting an eye,
Or using his throttle to help him on down -
The Flight Surgeon says he'll recover, the clown !".

"This flies much better now they've invented Photoshopping!"
Brantham's Butchers, Purveyors of Fine Meats to the City of Leeds, mounted a valiant private entry in the 1910 Schneider Trophy, but were unfortunately disqualified as they had failed to note a seaplane or flying boat was required.
According to the rather magnificent looking chap I bought it off, this bit makes it go up-tiddly-up-up and go down-tiddly-down-down, but after that I'm at a bit of a loss.
Official RAF photo provided as proof that they had in fact been active over Dunkirk did not fool anybody.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

If you don't get a bit more height on I don't think we'll make California
