The final words of SNAFU's first and inaugural post re this thread ended with 'TALLY HO!' Those words would have been appropriate to his last attack as he swooped in on that staffel of 109s all those years ago.
We have often wondered what happened to him after that final sortie and the question has been subject to much surmise ever since. Did he really prang his kite next to a nunnery for wayward young ladies at Chateau de Brassiere? We came to that inescapable conclusion when a few months later a letter was delivered by diplomatic bag (I've forgotten that woman's name) which requested SNAFU's presentation copy of the illustrated Kama Sutra to be dropped on a 'Rhubarb' mission over the grounds of said convent. Despite successfully carrying out that hazardous operation with no losses, nothing more was heard but I would like to think that our old mate got at least half-way through that book before he expired.
You will remember that Olga was briefed for a single person Commando raid on the Chateau to effect the rescue of our gallant chum. The details of that raid if indeed it actually took place are secure under the Official Secrets Act and no amount of cajoling by me would influence her to relate the story. If there was one quality about Olga it was her determination to keep a confidence - I'll say that for her. By the way....it wasn't she who told me that you both slept together on top of the Studley Municipal Gasometer after that New Years Eve episode.
