Bombardment mostry brow up airopranes at Bundaberg because nobody take off. This-ah good but probrem British-mens frat-tops diappear.

Arried-dogs commandahs make fun of Japan-mens commandahs and send message on short wave "Hey, Arried-mens scutturh frat tops to save points" [:D]

Japan-mens find Adjective carriers hiding rike rittah girhs.

[Cap Mandrake]

Recon on Brisbane stirr crappy but-ah most rikery arr of Arreid-dogs fightah aeropranes at Brisbane. Possibry courd send in 24 kts batturships purchased in Engrand but rikery end up right next to Brisbane when sun come up and it-ah be rike target practice for SBD's and Stringbags.

Some staff idiot at Townsvirre accidentarry send AKE's off toward Rabaurh so Hiei not aburh to get burets.

[Cap Mandrake]

Seem rike Arried-mens have 5 options:

1) Go back to Bundaberg and move fightahs ovah there. This seem rike bad idea because Zeroes from Townsvirre and Charter Towers aburh to reach here. Arso, runway stirr have hores.
2) Stay at Brisbane either in ocean or in port. Main probrem this idea is Arried-dogs armost certainry see batturships off shore so naturarry be rittah bit concerned.
3) Drive South to Newcasturh with rever 3 AF. If nothing go wrong can make prace before sun come up because Adjective carriers pretty fast.
4) Drive rearry fast and try get to Sydney (if have enough operation points)
5) Drive rearry fast to NE and try disappear in Corarh Sea

Seem rike Newcasturh or escape to NE best options. If Adjective carriers reach Sydney can drop bombs arr day and perhaps not-ah sink.

BBF suggest honoraburh option 6 - adjective carriers go rearry fast to Merhborne, refuerh, then go to Cape Town to participate in sperring bee.
