Thread: The Penguins have arrived!

  1. #1

    Smile The Penguins have arrived!

    Today marks the arrival of my Lend-Lease Grand Tour Caproni. In true Penguin fashion, they arrived on a snowy day! I want to thank everyone who participated in the world tour. It is a wonderful collection of memories from friends around the world!

    Outstanding.... glad to hear they arrived safe and sound... although probably very hungry.

    Glad they have reached their final destination Richard - been a long time since I stood atop Beachy Head on a stormy morning !

    They have found a good home indeed Richard.
    What other contraband apart from my Linclon Imp. had been added to the baggage in transit.
    I knew it would ensure a safe journey if I popped it in. That many WW2 aircrews could not be wrong.

    Good to see the Caproni and crew have finally finished their sojourn. How about a pic showing their new airfield Rich?

    They will be right at home there Rich.
    How thoughtful of you to order up snow for them.

    I never order snow! The light flurries with no accumulation turned into two inches at rush hour. This area cannot handle flurries! The little beasts may not appreciate the normal heat and humidity we are known for!

    Glad to see they landed safely, even if the last mechanic forgot to swap out the wheeled landing gear for skis.

    Congratulations on the landing. Have to find a nice display case to keep the plane in. Was the log book also included?

    Well Rich.
    Not seen any Flurries for years. Last time was when I was stuck up a tree with a broken leg and needed some pain killer. The medic could not get to me but a group of passing Flurries made a pyramid till they got high enough to reach me. I was then injected by the Flurry with a syringe on top.

    Well the Pennies would have been thrilled to see the snow below as they landed.
    Perhaps you can get them a small camping fridge for summer quarters. Dont forget to keep a good stock of kippers & beer!

    I have snow here in Ohio, too! I'm SURE they would have been happy here...if only I had purchased more raffle tickets...

    Enjoy the begeebies out of them, Richard! Don't forget to share some of your pickled herring with them from time to time.

    All the best,

    Beware the curse of the Penguins! These little beasts have brought a second snow storm in three days! Someone should have warned me! The power is back on after 12 hours darkness. I think this is another part of the curse? They want their natural environment back and are changing the planet rotation! Send spring quickly!

    Ah yes that little matter Rich. We quite forgot to tell you about that didn't we Gunners old chap.
    Then there was the drinking......... Still if it gets too much for you to handle, you can always send them back to Blighty.

    Now you warn! I will have my Revenge! That explains the weather improvement in Denver! Can you comprehend the long range effects, if cursed beasts returned to the land of Pink Gins and Baked Beans on Toast? Scotland would become a glacier again. The Suffolk Coast will be in days paddle from Holland! The Chunnel will be high and dry then paved over. This result in vote in the EU, imposing left had driving on the British Isles! Let me handle this imposing burden!

    As I understand it Rich.
    Your border Patrol has already intercepted about two hundred of their relatives trying to illegally slip into the USA from a disused ice floe.

    The INS will have to be called in! We barely stopped the last wave!The mine fields are destroyed and we ran out of Kippered Herring! We tried the Red Herring, but they did not fall for it! A friend of my enemy, is no friend of mine! Our only real hope is they founder on the Flounder, which is just about in season!
