"OK, Lissenup! I've got some good news and some bad news! This plane we're building for the London-to-Sydney air race in 1919 is taking a bit long to put together - in fact we're unlikely to make it for the 2019 Centenary Air Race. The Bad news is, the race is going to be for ELECTRIC aircraft. No, no, no, don't start crying - the good news is, the race has been cancelled!"

Hoskins, it's taken you so long to put the bloody thing together, the Squadron formed to fly it has been stood down and recently reformed with Typhoons at Coningsby...
The RAF Museum are no longer interested in exhibiting aircraft, Phillips, but they'll have your ladders and LAC Stimpson's overalls...
