Who has been allocated the responsibility of towing the Sunderland behind their glider, after all it can’t make it under its own steam.
I would like nominate Bobbers as I gather he his travelling in his green mankini and blue neoprene gloves as a safety precaution.
CCCCOOOOOEEEEEE I would like nominate Bobbers as I gather he his travelling in his green mankini and blue neoprene gloves as a safety precaution.
IOTN I finally got the stubborn oil filter off after an hour of struggling, swearing, tearing my arm to shreds and making the old filter look like this!!!!

You're not supposed to use your teeth, Bobbers! 
Or did you borrow your Dad's?PS. It looks a bit too big for your bin. And anyway, you're not supposed to put it in the green bin.

Morning all!
Sat, sitting at the airport awaiting my flight back to ol' Blighty (via Toronto) and no mistake.
A big thank you to my hosts hereabouts, Norm and Mai-La, who took good care of your correspondent whilst aboard their gorgeous trawler yacht 'Fire on the Moon'. Much fun enjoyed and walkies with their mutt Douglas ...
If you could advise the co-ords of Vol. 40 I shall enquire with the pilot if I could be permitted to de-plane in the vicinity thereof utilising the ram air wot I have packed...
Toodle pip.

Co-ordinates?
The best we can advise is "An old WW 2 RAF airfield somewhere in Middle England, about three miles southwest of Trivton-in-the-Wold, just to the north of Trivton Lake where the Sunderland is moored.
Watch out for a large squadron of mixed ability novice would-be hang-glider pilots preparing to launch from the top of the larger of the two hangars.
It should be quite a spectacle...
Especially if a lot of them end up in the canal.
Or the woods.
Or hanging from where the church steeple used to be until it was unexpectedly taken out by an errant Bloodhound just over a week ago.
Nice Doggie, Pequod!

IOTN, our lovely ex-pats were due to fly from Gatport Airwick back to Turkiye this afternoon, but it's looking like their flight will be delayed until termorrer night.
It's a knock-on effect from all of the chaos that prevailed yesterday because of the adverse weather conditions and other logistical problems.
Not what they wanted to hear.
Still, there are worse airports in which to be stranded:
Calcutta
Leeds/Bradfordistan
Aden
Mombasa
Bagram

I think I'll walk to the next Volume. I haven't been well.
Or...
Is the Bath Chair available?
Or the Sedan Chair.
Is there conveyance available that could convey a sense of occasion and ceremony?

We still have enough time to fit the Howdah on to the elephant. Would that impart a sufficient sense of "je ne sais quoi" for you, Raquel?I think I'll walk to the next Volume. I haven't been well.

If only we knew where the elephant was hiding...

As I'm sure you recall, the cry was, 'Hide the elephants.' That is elephants - plural.If only we knew where the elephant was hiding...
We should be able to find one, for goodness sake.
