"Will You", Hazel O'Connor. One of my favourites that is, here it is if anyone's interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJSqcvAQ8l8

Lovely song, reminds me of Mrs Bomma, bless her.

CHRIST! Are those your Navlights? I'm closer than I thought.
Nope! Not our nav lights, Bomma.

These are ours...

Sorry, I should have switched them on earlier. Be seen, be safe, eh? smile

Sorry, Bomma, we have no cans of de-icer on board.
The old girl has the old TKS leading edge de-icer boots with an integral tank of fluid pumped out cyclically through the micro pores.
Have you any Albanian "Congac" left? That should do the trick I've seen it melt a bucket of ice cubes in 20 seconds! Nearly dissolved the bucket as well!

( Stainless bucket, not galvanised. Sorry Dicky.)

No problem old chap, I can see the bugger properly now. One of those bloody Russian things, I've managed to get a lock on him.

Well, a lock with an iron sight on a Lee Enfield .303. Best I can do at the mo.

Is it Dicky with our landing flarepath? He's too early! Is there a contingency plan superceding Plan B? We've had no signals to that effect.

Delta Charlie, Delta Charlie, this is Golf Romeo: do you read?

I've deserted TT for the final hour of 18.

I'm standing outside the 100 month club doors awaiting entry at 12.01 am.

You've been here for 18 hours and you're deserting us now?

That don't make no kind of sense.

Golf Romeo, this is Bravo Two Two Zero transmitting on Turbo. I'm an air callsign dumping excess fuel. Cleared to land. Over.
