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

ALSP;

Can you post the air losses for the day? I'm still at work for 5 or 6 hrs and am curious to see what happened to the Bettys and Kates.

Hory Clap!

I suggested it at the time.


The management reserves the right to be infallible. Has anyone else invaded the Philippines and Burma in March 1943? I think not.

A revisit, Your Infalliblenesses. I just did it in a PBM and the squadrons bought back were quoted as arriving in "30 to 180 days".

[sprior]

Not to be confused with whorey clap which is the by-product of a night in a Calcutta knocking-shop.

[Cap Mandrake]

First it is herpes and then whorey clap.

Someone is reliving their days in the Royal Navy. [:)]

[Cap Mandrake]

There is a funny term from the 4th rotor for this kidn of stuff. Can't remember now.

[sprior]

Never had a dose of the clap. I hear the scablifters umbrella was quite painful.

[Cap Mandrake]

"scablifters" [:D]

Couldn't a faithful rendition of that still be 'holey clap'?

Herpes not as badly off as some would wish.

Umm ... drag reducing holes notwithstanding, you might want to reconsider the mission speed setting until the crew have time to pound oily rags into all the glands where the fittings pass through the bulkheads. And this has nothing to do with stopping whorey clap either! [:-]

Hey, you're back! [:)] Where've you been?

[BBfanboy]

Month's vacation in Sunny Arizona + 8 days driving time.
Missed being able to kibbitz here. It was worth it for the sandal tan though!

[zuluhour]

Mandrake "at work"

[zuluhour]

I appologize to no one for a lack of photos of Lord Sprior as that sort of thing is frowned upon in the kingdom.

Great catch on the cruise speed vs. mission speed regarding the "Herpies" ...[&o]

We did have very mild weather this year during the winter! You got out just in time as Phoenix hits the 90's this week!

I do want to go on record that despite rumors of Arizona being a backwards state in the Western region .. we do have Starbucks and Internet [:D]

We had mild in terms of snow, but a string of record low temps... 'course I don't live down where folks go stir crazy from heat in the summer! [:D]

No doubt about it. Hermes can take more punishment than the USN CVE's which are floating gas tanks. Even with 3 "up the chuff" she can make 11 kts.

I think that is even FASTER than her speed before battle. Evidently the water flows in one hole and out the other, therby reducing drag.

wow! Is it possible the barnacles acted as a torpedo blister or some kind of ablative armor? Sorry, I mean armour. This would also explain the recent increase in speed. Can you do me a favor and get someone to put a level gauge on the front end of the flight deck and tell me what it reads?
