" No you are correct, last time we visited each engine had two blader props fitted, however someone at MOD suggested we bolt another prop on the front of the original ones to increase thrust as they had some spare props knocking about."

Bing Bong ... We are pleased to announce that we are ready to board passengers for our flight to Cairo. 1st Class guests are asked to turn right on entering the main hatch to take their seats ... Our Business Class passengers are asked to turn left on entering to take their bench ... Coach Class travellers are asked to wait beside the aircraft until our ground staff are ready to strap you to the wings ... We do hope you have a pleasant flight.
though weird and wondrous she surely be
on she'll sail through tropic skies
stately as any galleon was
with fuel and oil by SHELL decreed
sedately spreading far afield
Britain's might and majesty
