Pip, pip. Quick march. Left, right, left, right.

Back in my R.A.F days when the senior officer called for a scramble,

you’d hop in the old crate and tallyho.

• Chocks away! - Give over, you old fool. They just want to count us.

Oh, how dare you talk back to a senior ranking officer.

• Why, back in my R.A.F. days– - Fowler, they’re coming. Back in line.

You’re grounded.

Attention!

Ah! Over. Right.

How’s the egg count?

Oh, no. Edwina.

Bunty, why didn’t you give her some of yours?
