The operation was almost thwarted when two pleasure craft passed by & created dangerous waves that almost scrubbed the mission.

Hoskins, the orders were to ramp up seaplane operations, not up ramp the seaplanes!

They insist on flying Echo which is at the back so pop out, derivet the data plate and rivet into Whisky at the front and I’ll sort out the painters to swop the code.

Upon Coastal Command being transferred to the Royal Navy....

"Best Navy tradition - let's saw off the outer 3/4 of the wings and fasten them back on with hinges, to save space."

Exercise planners ordered a scale model of the seaplane base. Unfortunately, they failed to specify that the seaplanes and the base be at the same scale.

What? Fly them all at once? Think of the cost, man! No, no, as long as one is out on patrol we keep the brass happy.

We used to moor them all in the harbour, but then we found there was no room to take off.
