The VP bombing raid
« on: May 19, 2008, 01:51:51 PM »
I believe we should steal an aircraft and bomb the houses of Parliament with rotting turnips and old toilet cisterns. To progress this we must first steal an aeroplane. I reccomend one of these :




Lets face it, its a bit ancient and if we bring it back quick no-one will even notice.

Also, it would be suitable as we have a RAF veteran to hand who can fly it I'm sure. He may be a bit rusty so here is a picture to study :




And a handy leaflet to stick on the window to jog the old memory in moments of crisis :




So Snoopy shall be pilot, I shall be tail end Charlie. We need volunteers / nominations for the following crew positions:

Navigator> After all we have to find the damn place.

Flight engineer> to kick tyres &c.

Bob aimer> In case we do actually find the damn place.

All round good egg> To stand behind the pilot gripping the seat back and looking grim.

Somebody with a video camera phone>So we can post it on YouTube as well as phone an ambulance when we crash land in a cornfield.

Assorted gunners>To shoot things like.

So who's up for it?

Yes, I'm bored.

Volunteers are being sought.

Why does my mind turn to Peter Cook's "We need a futile gesture at a time like this" sketch?












And I cannot find a bloody video of it on the net ANYWHERE
