Mission de-brief

I, and some junior Intel Officers surveyed the ancient aircraft the SAS had found abandoned in the desert We thought they'd perfect for our clandestine operations. Made of string and wood, y'see, so invisible to the enemy's radar...

As I had heroically volunteered for the most dangerous mission, despite my lovely Carruthers begging me not to, I thought it best to false flag my aircraft in case the bugger got shot down.

Rather classically, I thought, we set off at dawn...

Our mission was two fold...

One: Locate & Destroy the enemy's prototype aerial battleship. Intel Cor thought this might give our ground forces some serious strafing hassle.

Two: Stop the supply trains so they couldn't build another of this terrifying leviathans...

We attacked against all odds...

And destroyed our objectives...

We returned to our base...

..safely, though some not quite as unscathed as others...

However, we all got that al important hero's welcome home!

TTFN!

Undie cover

Hi ya Flyboys, Lt Carruthers here.

Can't let the Old Wing Co have all the glory...
Just to let you all you guys know I'm safe and well, and I've been on secret missions too. Long, hot desert nights under deep cover with the old buffoon. What a gal has to do her country!

So here's one for my fans, taken by Wing Co himself, after we'd dusted orf a few enemy cabbage crates.

As you can see, my nimble little fighter picked up a few bullet holes, but most fortunately, the champagne did not pop prematurely.

( yes I have it on tap, come on you wouldn't begrudge a lady her luxuries would you gentlemen? )

Hope to catch you later, boys, Lt Carruthers, xxx

Sshhh planes

Snuck these piccies on the home run from the last oppo.

Believe it or not, these big buggers flew right under me ol' biplane. Nearly shook it to bits - it's only an old string bag after all!

Anyhow, looks like our boffin type chaps are playing around with solar panel hybrid designs to save the old fossil fuels a tad.

They're definitely quieter, whispering buggers took completely by surprise.

Lucky they weren't the Bosch, what!

Back in action!

Tally Ho chaps and chapettes, Wing Co's back!

Sorry for the long delay in posting Intel, but I've been deep behind enemy lines.
Something to do with defence cutbacks and yours truly being the one the few (Literally, - God I miss my Spitfire) old enough to remember how to fly stringbags. We'd left them in the desert eons ago, and a SAS patrol were suprised and delighted to find them in fairly good condition. Something to do with the old dry air. So, got the call from Her Madge, God bless her, would I mind doing bit for the old Country (God bless it) again... So, one's been strafing the buggers, spying on 'em etc, etc and had maintain the old wireless silence, don't you know.
Hasn't been all bad. What with the all that camping out under the desert night stars with me sexy ground crews...

See you soon. Keep checking back, over...
