What ho, chaps? Look, we all know it is a bally nuisance and all, however these desk jockeys at HQ need us all to observe this movie about day by day insepction of your Spitfire. No Vera and no Greta on this one, extra’s the pity, however it’s jolly necessary. Everyone knows that our Spitfires are difficult buckets of bolts, however these kites gained’t keep within the air if we don’t preserve them. Sure, the boring stuff, like purging the gasoline system of water and refueling outdoors of the hanger. And, sure, Captain Molesworth, meaning placing out that cigar whereas the tech boys are topping off your tank. Now shut up and watch the movie we’ve positioned under the break, what?
All proper, all proper, get up on the again there. I heard you loud night breathing, Peason. The bally Germans might hear you loud night breathing. I do know that wasn’t Errol Flynn, however these items is damned important. Chances are you’ll be pilots, however you all depend on these folks you simply noticed. Your lives rely on the riggers, armorers, instrument repairers, and others. While you’re out carousing, these males are taking your airplane aside and making certain the engine is working smoother than the legs of the barmaid on the Canine & Duck. Each time considered one of you chaps calls Bingo Gasoline, you get dwelling as a result of some chap checked your gasoline gauge was correct. Each time considered one of you glances on the Charge of Climb indicator to guage an intercept, you might be counting on the chap who examined and zeroed it when you have been loud night breathing in your bunk, sleeping off final nights debauch. So, don’t overlook that you’re a part of a workforce. Chances are you’ll be filled with dauntless spirit up there, however you gained’t get anyplace with out these chaps on the bottom.
Now, let’s discuss tonight’s mission…
