Painless

Ok chaps, so let’s have a definitive list of those who intends to stay at the Red Lion and / or socialise on the Saturday afternoon/ evening.... (edit your details in) Edit: Painless..... arriving at Red Lion late afternoon Friday. Staying in room Friday/ Saturday night. Drive home Sunday at some stage. Sid.... looking to arrive friday evening and drive home sunday BB.... Jabo....Arriving Saturday morning - attending whatever shenanigans occur and then head off late Saturday night. Crash.... Arriving Saturday afternoon, staying Saturday night then off in the morning. ? ? ?

Reporting for duty even though it’s our 29th wedding anniversary today ! Obviously married a good one 👍🏻🤗💕

Even a compromise would be better than nothing, for instance cancelling the Friday night room, driving up Saturday morning, spending the afternoon and evening socialising with a few beers, staying in the room Saturday night then driving home Sunday morning ?

Well I would be up for keeping my room booking for Friday and Saturday night if a few of us do the same just to feel like a “free” human being with rights again, anyone else ?

If it’s not against ze regulations under pain of prosecution, what about staying at the hotel anyway for a Dogz weekend ? If it becomes apparent nearer the time that we are not allowed then we could cancel the rooms if necessary ?

FUUUUUUCK !!!

Should be OK Col, barring any major hold ups on the roads.

Bloody miffed that you killed him with your prop instead of the preferred HB pencil up the nose Reggie. I had to inflict my “wingman less” self on the 402nd for the rest of the mission. Not sure I did a very good job of improving inter squadron relations but I made it clear that it was all your fault mate 👍🏻 See you on the next one.

Parts and myself will do our best to be there on returning from Swindon Col.

Capt Les Payne reporting for duty skipper.

Welcome Goon of the Sea, sounds like you are “challenged” enough to fit in here no problem. One word of warning though... ...we are all extremely racist, we don’t like “Jonny foreigners” even thought the squad is largely made up of the buggers, AND absolutely none of us get along with each other ! WELCOME TO THE DOGZ @bongo, I bloody knew there was something fishy about you by the way you sashay up to an aircraft mate 🤗🤔

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Reg 🤪🤣😳 Cheers to failing eyesight, poor taste, poor judgment and too much wine 🤗

Nice report Squawk, no one really f**ked up though, just one of those freak sets of multiple circumstances coming together at exactly the wrong moment to create an “ incident” 😉 Looking forward to the next one as Capt Les Payne. Apparently he has chiselled good looks and is hung like baboon 👍🏻 Major Tom : Requsting 1st Lt Reggie Nailed as my new wingman if possible.

Sid is your man to ask about a new skin Reggie. 👍🏻 Bloody shame our run of luck came to an end mate, but it was good while it blasted !

Reporting for duty birthday boy!

Tell you what I’ll do Reggie, one 500g tub of decent quality Buffalo milk coffee ice cream, delivered to my door, first Saturday of every month for six months.... we can call it quits 👍🏻🤝

Saturday ticket purchased 👍🏻

If you have had enough of it Arjen, that is good enough for me mate.

@Reggie Happy to take 10% of any bit coins you might have sir. 👍🏻😉

Thanks for the Edit clarification Tom. Thought I was having flashback hallucinations from my “mushroom experimentation” days 😳

With all due respect Arjenski, we were shooting at the hearts of the Germans not the scenery! 🤣 Anything to keep you happy my darling, original post edited 👍🏻

Probably one of our best missions yet 485th ! A small but perfectly formed Red and White flight,(four and two ship respectively) proceeded towards the front lines north of Oss. We were on an air patrol with the caveat being to prioritise protecting our ground troops from air attack. With this in mind I decided to transit at a lowly angels 10 instead of at least 15 mentioning on the radio that “I hope we don’t get bounced by fighters with 5000ft on us”. Some distance from the front lines we were bounced by fighters with 5000 ft on us. With everything going nicely to plan in a six on six fight we called in 402nd who were not far away at this point to avoid having a fair fight on our hands. However, having dropped our bombs in response to a very bad tempered head on initial assault by the Grey meanies our very own Capt Rea, Lt Reginald and 2nd Lt Artage dispatched all of the D9s. Curiously I could swear I saw a Bf 110 hit by Lt Reginald, (after which it spun out of control towards Earth) which did not appear as a kill in the stats except in the form of a second D9 ? [EDIT: PWCG doing silly things; the 2nd kill should be the Bf 110. Fen] Capt Rea did great work bagging three D9s and at some point Lt Apeehill shot down one of those new fangled propeller less Me262 abominations. [EDIT: more PWCGisms; no ME262s in the 485th fight. AP killed a Fw 190D-9. Fen] Apologies to 402nd for the unnecessary scream for help but one was shitting one’s self at the time. After all of this excitement we reformed as best we could and proceeded to once again ruin the day for a truly vast number of enemy types on the ground all along the front lines north of Oss. 2nd Lt Snocker, Lt Apeehill and 2nd Lt Jean Artage all performed extremely well, drilling both machine gun and cannon rounds deep into the hearts 😘 of the Third Reich, bloody marvellous! Lt Reginald once again performed as the perfect wingman keeping me both alive and unventilated. Both Lt Apeehill and 2nd Lt Snocker landed at a forward airfield without damage, (something about haemorrhoids?). The remaining four of us returned to home base filled with the warm glow of righteous retribution having been administered by an appropriate agent........ THE 485th !!!!!

Rootin tootin for doody flipper.

Yes, I heard AP call my shot short, so he could obviously see better.

Wow ! That’s 373.15 K (sounds hotter 🤓) Is that dust 70% human skin ? 🤮
