"I say chaps, do you think that the day will ever come where these maps can be sourced instantly, freely and easily from an international database, carried on a small slimline portable television like device and overlaid with photos taken from outer space?"

Brilliant, according to the graph, mine has grown 1/2 an inch since I started tying a weight on it.

Rights chaps. We've been reactivated to help Frenchie do the job in Mali. The clever chaps in Whitehall never promised our good stuff so here's where we can find some surplus gear...a little place called Burma...

"Ok now the final redundancy tranche it out of the way and only four of us remain I have come up with a plan
Tubs you being the lowest rank will man Brize Norton our remaining Station, I realise that manning the whole station yourself is going to be a lot of work, especially as you will be responsible for our final aircraft, but I have taken that into account and i will allow you an extra week to prepare for AOC's inspection.
Beaky I am making you AOC and along with Streaky here, you will join me at MOD London where the three of us can oversee Tubs. I realise that with only three of us at MOD to oversee Tubs we are going to be stretched, therefore I have arranged with No10 to employ a 100 strong typing pool to assist us...
Well gentlemen I think that covers all bases... Oh, before I forget Tubs, chatting on the blower to the PM this morning he wants you to deploy our asset to....."


Yes I know I can't enter

It seemed so easy when they explained it to us at air cadets - so very long ago - but these grid references can be dashed tricky to work out...

Gentlemen ... Dowding and his Fighter Command chaps have got a rather wizard Plotting Table with a lot of pretty young WAAF's pushing stuff around with long poles ... Squiffy can you sort out the table and I'll start interviewing the girls with Ginger over here ... oh and Sammy go have a word with the SWO and get hold of some brooms. Back in an hour and we're operational
