Biggles Flies Undone! RAF SE5a - from 1918 - over Old Warden, May 2023
I first came across the Biggles joke in 'Monty Python's Brand New Bok' (sic) in 1973 - and, child that I am, it still raises a titter after all these years. And as Frankie Howerd would doubtlessly have said, 'Never resist a titter - you never know when another will come your way'.
The SE5A was a major British fighter from WW1 - the 'Spitfire' of its day. A great aircraft, but completely unfunny in every respect. I haven't read a Biggles story for many decades, and I dread to think how politically incorrect those novels from the 1930s must now be.
