Well at least one of us is taxiing into the Loch, begging your pardon Sir but that's how we fly.
Air Vice Marshall, Sir, if I may a few words with you before we get to cricket behind the dispersal hut. The men need correction and discipline but also a sense of duty. I'll put up Daywalker for Group Captain as he's shown his stuff, maybe too often and in public parks, but he's dependable to bring scones to the mess, and he's got a regular in town.
And this chappy Summit he's a fine gentleman too although he's a bit prone to riding on horses. But he's a gent none-the -less and would make a fine Airfield Operations Officer. Put him in charge in the Watch Office and he'll look after the WAAF birds. Lord knows, Susannah York may come round in her white shirt yet!
Now this Razordws he's an Italian and a fine fighter pilot, a little hot in the saddle and would make a good Wing Commander. Stikpusher's an old mate, knows how to kick open the door of a Dakota at 500 feet and if he presents his papers I'd second him in a beat. Seen some action and has a dry wit about him. He'd be a good one in the Public on Fridays.
But if a chap named Nam comes round with his kit, I want him as a Pilot Officer in the kite. A finer Lewis gunner I've never seen, could kill the Piltdown Man if he tried. I'd billet him in my mess.
A fine badge too, although I don't personally go for them, but well done. Cheers then; off for gin with Keith Park.
Group Captain Lionel (if I may) Bondomandrake, RAF
