A Yank in the R.A.F. Page #4

We shouldn't have backed out

without warning you.

- That's kind...

- I trust you're not shaken up.

Oh, no, not at all. I hope I haven't

done you any damage either.

- Of course not. We're perfectly all right.

- Oh, well, thank you.

We must be going.

All right, get in.

Run along without me.

I just remembered I must see Richardson.

- An excellent idea. Wish I'd remembered too.

- Give him our love. (laughs)

Well, this is a surprise.

Did I forget my dinner pail?

No, I'm here on official business

for Lady Fitzhugh.

Well? Which one's yours?

Oh, stop kidding. These are

Lockheed Hudsons. Bombers.

Where are all those cute little Spitfires?

That's what I've been trying to find out.

Can you imagine?

They put me in school. Me!

Operational training. Teaching me

to fly under wartime conditions.

I've forgotten more about an airplane

than they'll ever know.

Didn't you tell them about all the experience

you'd had testing and flying the mail?

- Sure, it's no secret.

- Well, what'd they say?

They were very polite about it.

They said that with all my experience,

I wouldn't have any difficulty catching on.

Meanwhile I suppose I won't see you at all.

Of course you will. I'll pick you up tonight

after the show, backstage.

Now I'm a schoolboy, I need somebody

to help with my homework.

I can't wait.

I better go. I don't want to be tardy.

I'm going to a lecture. Bye.

Goodbye. And don't be

too difficult with teacher.

This Messerschmitt 109 was shot down last

week. Before I show you its vulnerabilities,

I have here a report made by the pilot

of the Spitfire which brought it down.

It seems that he was at 30,000 feet...

Mr Baker. If I were you,

I'd listen rather carefully to this.

You might want some information

on a 109 in a hurry one day.

Yes, sir. That's all right, go ahead.

I'm listening.

(engine churns but does not start)

It'll start better with this in place.

- What's that?

- The rotor off your distributor.

- Oh, did it fall off?

- No, I took it off. You know the regulation?

I know there's one about taking something

off your car so parachutists can't drive it,

but I never knew what it was

you were supposed to take off.

This is it. You just lift it out. I did it for you

so the police wouldn't catch you.

- That's very nice of you.

- If anyone catches you, I want to be the one.

- Do you catch many this way?

- I never tried before.

- Really?

- In fact, I never thought about it before.

You couldn't have done better

if you'd spent hours working it out.

You suppose you could put it back as easily?

If you insist.

Maybe I'd better watch

so I can do it myself next time.
