Bring me the head of Diego Garcia...and the Mayor of Addu Atoll too!

[Cap Mandrake]

Ah, Admiral Lord Sprior is back and I didn't get the King's battlewagons sunk. Splendid!

Even better it seems he was neither imprisoned or keel-hauled for getting all those AK's sunk in the Indian Ocean! Apparently, the Admiralty still looks favorably at that wonderful battle of Port Headland some time ago. Huzzah!

[Cap Mandrake]

I am ashamed to admit it but I never heard of Cumbria. I have two questions. Is it near Umbria and do they paint themselves blue?

[sprior]

Cumbria is that area of England to the north-west aka the Lake District.

Ah, mountain folk then. Well, there you have it.

Were men are men and . . . you know the rest.

I blamed the yanks.

Anyway spent an enjoyable time at Chequers with Winnie, a few glasses of the old red biddy, port and cigars. Good news - Spits are on the way!

Also briefed him on Operation Stoat/Otter/Weasel which is now Operation SOW.

[Cap Mandrake]

I just realized I should have said "neither imprisoned nor keel-hauled"...I think.

Ah, well, glad to hear you got along well with the PM. Did you make any progress on their incessant calls for sending things back?

While you were at Chequers I:

1) Started some of the Asiatic Fleet flagged naval support troops toward Perth. They had little to do at Alice.

2) I started a construction regiment at Alice toward Geraldton to help get the airfield there ready for heavies.

3) Some xAP's arrived at Perth from NZ and I started them on installing new AA guns. They will be ready in 20-21 days. I hope you weren't pushing off before then.

4) I couldn't fly the recon P-38's from NZ so I crated them up and sent them toward Melbourne.

5) I started getting the repaired aircraft out of Daly and Tennant as supply is in the crapper. Daly is actually at zero and most of the units are red. I am not sure what happened. Road gremlins, I suspect. Maybe the Abos are stealing the stuff?

6) I tried to send the Wellingtons to raid Mandalay which has no fighters. They refused orders so I cancelled it and sent some Parchisi sets for morale boosting.

7) I put some Catalinas at Addu and Diego and backfilled with some Hudsons from India to Ceylon.

8) Sent a volunteer minesweeper to the Java/Oz gap and a PG south of Ceylon for picket duty.

9) More AP's headed Perth

No one knows what this is. The ghurkas tried cooking it.

[sprior]

Did you make any progress on their incessant calls for sending things back?

No.

[sprior]

I also started a base force toward Tsuyung so those pesky WJD fly boys don't think they can use the place for target practice (yes, I know I need fighters too but BF force first - it's just good manners).

Somebody's got to introduce some Jiu-Jitsu to those blokes. [8|]

[Ossian]

I like Cumbria. I like Umbria too but there is a distinct lack of mint cake so Cumbria wins.

[sprior]

Endal mint cake is nowhere near as good.

[Ossian]

People claim it was the old Laudanum that 'influenced' the Lakeland poets but I think it was a good, hearty dose of Kendal mint cake. I bet Coleridge had munched about 10 bars when he wrote 'Kubla Khan.' All that sugar must do do something funny to you.

Oh dear. Is it like Ukraine then? All the good-looking women moved away?

That, sir, is a low and disgusting stereotype! There are plenty of good looking women in Ukraine.




They just havent figured out how to leave yet.

I totally agree with the Red mouse. Low and disgusting! There are plenty of good looking women in the Ukraine. I've seen them in issues of Special Order Ukraine Bride monthly.
