Good weekend?


What ho Chaps & Chapettes of Aviation Fandom!

Here's hoping one and all had a jolly good wheeze at the weekend, with more than your fair share of tiffing!

I know I certainly did...


After fending orf M.O.D. censorship threats (they don't like us revealing our secret mission reports here...), collating Intel reports of new readers (Hello, you're most welcome!) and replying to your kind messages of goodwill, we needed a bit of a whiz to combat the fatigue of good old fashioned hard work.



So my excellent very personal No 1, the lovely Lt Carruthers and her equally lovely assistant Lt Carstairs rather saucily suggested whisking me away for the weekend.


Oh, Rather!
How could any red blooded, true blue Brit hero lady Ace like yours truly refuse?

So, we fired up "Angel One", our Top Secret supersonic private jet...











...Piloted by the gorgeous Captain Fairfax, who warmly welcomed us aboard,






















She put on these superb in flight movies...



...and flew us over to Korea, where our Biggin Hill Spy Satellites had picked out an unusual restaurant worthy of some serious investigation...








Orn the way, from our mile high positions, we spotted some simply splendid cloud effects around our escorting warplanes








We were lucky to see similarly striking scenes around some unsuspecting civilian airliners...







Though not too sure about this last one Fairfax claims she bagged from the cockpit.
Seems a tad iffy to me...




However, on touchdown it soon transpired all was not well at this particular eatery...





















It had definitely seen better days...



And although the interior was still serviceable (not for Officers, admittedly, but NCO's would have found it appealing, I'm sure) ...
















...the restaurant suddenly roared orf down the road with the rush hour traffic!


Would you believe it!

So, my lovely Carrauthers and Carstairs popped some more champers and a "small" totty of H.M. Service issue rum for me self...


Put on another coupla of movies...




and we zoomed over to a swish little place I know in Switzerland for a posh nosh there...

called Runway 34


It's across one of the great lakes and the water taxi was quite, as you Americans might say, awesome!


Enough excitement for one day, we took the rather quaint retro-futuristic saucer bus back to Angel One...


Toodle pip, chaps!

TTFN,

Warmest regards,

Wing Co

Latest Intel




The stunning Lt Carruthers and I...










...welcome all our new readers to our Top Secret little blog here at the Underground Bunker at Biggin Hill.

We've been leaking classified Intel for a while now, from our very first blog which promoted the quaint R.A.F. way of speaking through to wondrous aircraft of the future to gorgeous air babes to all manner of awesome and funny aircraft pictures and intel.

Please browse and enjoy.

We took a short break from reporting, - going deep undie cover for a highly dangerous mission that even we could not blog about, (well, maybe not). But we prevailed, defeated Her Majesty's enemies once again and, in the peaceful calm of post battle took to our top of the range nuclear powered R.A.F. p.c.'s once again.

Our brand new Intel reports are listed below or just tag back from this one.
Please , EYES ONLY and stop by in the comments to say "Hello" or as we in the R.A.F. say "Air Hair Lair, Pleased awfully to meet you"

TTFN, Regards,

Wing Co & Lt Carruthers xxx

Behind the scenes: Bunker de-classified...

Tally Ho aeronauts!

What with all this freedom of information clap trap that's all the rage now, the sinister powers that be here at the M.O.D. Top Secret Bunker, Biggin Hill, A233 Kent, U.K.
(ahem!) sensed a p.r. opportunity.

Fortunately my very talented (so the Ladies say) cousin was available. He is a top photographer with a high security clearance, who also has some considerable knowledge of covert ops...

Anyway, the champagne flowed, the female staff swooned, and a great day was had by all (ooh behave...)

So here's all the official photos of our clandestine base that they would allow out into the WWW after checking the small print on the official secrets act...




My car

Lt Carruthers car



My transport plane


Lt Carruthers planes





The Staff Bar & Restaurant











Our Sports and Social Club





Our lovely receptionists at our custom GE747 cowling reception desks. Strange there was only this one photo, Austin was down there for some time...(ooh behave!)




Our Science Dept receptionist, and Q's right hand, Dr May Givehead (ooh will you behave!) at her custom DC9 desk


And Austin's pictured Dr May Givehead again, for some reason. She seems to have changed her clothes in this one...is that a saucy nightie under her coat..?


Wait a tad, that's a man's coat she's wearing...
Oh, Austin I told you to behave!



My always stunning very personal secretary Lt Carruthers at her custom GE747 cowling desk



My office bar




My fish tank



My Chair


My custom B25 bomber desk



And of course, our custom mile high bed.

Ooh I really should behave.

I really should...

Coming Carruthers...







( with special thanks to the very talented chaps at http://www.motoart.com/ for their custom furniture)

So, I got a few old heli's, a balloon & some meccano ...



Intel says it's the Piasecki PA-97 Helistat (U.S. Navy and U.S. Forest Service 1986), a $40 million experimental heavy-lift aircraft, built by Frank Piasecki by fastening four obsolete Sikorsky H-34J helicopters to a framework beneath a ZPG-2W helium blimp...

Designed to lift 26 tons, flight tests proved it to be so unstable as to be uncontrollable. It crashed at Lakehust, New Jersey in July 1986, killing one of the pilots.
