Re: Rehab Productions Presents...An Adventure.
Londogs and chums go clubbin’ (also in surround sound and Dolby Stereo)
After a short rest, the important business of training in the air can begin Sweetiepie, Cosmos and Longdogs each lead a flight of rookie hero(in)es in a series of mock dog (bitch)-fights. Every pilot is made to practice standard manoeuvres - Immelman turns, attacking out of the sun, coming in on a wing and a prayer, sinew stiffening and (of course) Imitating the Actions of the Stork .
There are no casualties and not a single example of incorrect Approved Pilot Talk, thanks to the Old Team's abilities to lead their flights into battle and to shepherd stragglers simultaneously. Air Commodore Rehab will call this 'an absolutely wizard show', when he learns about it later from WingCo Judd, The Squadron stands down for the night. Busy fitters led by LAC Tpin and his new shiny tools race against the clock until dawn to make sure that each aeroplane is in tip - top mechanical order and customised to its pilot's requirements. Armourers load up machine - guns and cannons, while the flyers relax in the town. Everyone knows that tomorrow will bring the Big Push.*
* Although in most respects it's a superb machine, the Sunbeam Alpine (Series IV) engine is notoriously difficult to start on cold mornings.
Longdogs and his two chums do what they always do on such occasions. They go clubbin’ They drink a lot of Gin and listen to the boys singing round Morty’s piano in the function room of the The Jockey's Nostrils. Longdogs writes up his war journal, Sweetiepie swaps dirty jokes with Rhian the strikingly beautiful landlady, Mups the buxom barmaid Who Has a Seriously Soft Spot (it’s a medical problem) for WingCo Judd the oh so hunky station commander, daydreams in the corner, and Cosmos does a bit of knitting. She's thinking, 'Knit One, Purl Two, Knit Three Tog' over and over again until she's relaxed and alert at the same time. (Yeh right)
** The landgirls are singing, ‘ Is this the way to Amarillo?’ and in return Rhian and Morticia , sing….a rude rugby song called ‘It was on the good ship Venus’ (the last remaining ship in the Navy) 'by God you should have seen us, the figure head was a nude in bed and the mast was the Captain…( I am sure you all know the remaining 86 verses)
Many of the Girls under eighteen are drinking war-time lemonade substitute, which is made from seaweed by local chemical firm, Sunrise Sludges PLC. ( a Rehab Catering company.) Meanwhile behind the bar Mups the oh so buxom and very attractive bar wench has thrown Judd the strikingly handsome station Commander to the floor and proceeds to tear his clothes off.....but enough of this frivolity.. back to the story...
