- Conditions are atrocious here. There are only two
- creatures that survive, us and the brass monkeys.
- Visibility in this weather is seriously reduced.
-
- Remember, the enemy have been here a lot longer than
- you have. They know all the tricks in the book and a
- few more besides. They will probably spot you first
- so beware. So far it’s been stalemate round here but
- all that could change.
-
- Our sources tell us all the enemy winter supplies
- will be flown in by five Airships and six Cargo
- Planes. I specifically requested a pilot of your
- calibre to capitalise on this coup. I know you won’t
- let me down. This could take months off the war.

- Whilst there is a steady enemy withdrawal, we are still
- encountering isolated pockets of organised resistance.
-
- We have identified the eight Headquarters co-ordinating
- their defence. Your mission is to destroy these along
- with the seven Fokker Eindeckers giving air cover.
-
- In return, I’ll guarantee you a ticket home and a
- hot bath.

- Good show up north eh what? I hear they are close
- to liberation on the Northern Front. That’s another
- feather in the cap for our unit.

- A Special Delivery from the War Cabinet arrived here
- yesterday addressed to you. I took the liberty of asking
- the bomb squad to open it. You know you can’t be too
- careful these days.
- It contains a couple of nylons, a jar of real coffee,
- 1 lb of tea and 2 lbs of sugar. Not impressed? Well I
- can’t help that, there’s a war on you know.
-
- The Admiral of the Fleet requests your presence aboard
- his flagship. You better get cracking. He wants
- everything ship shape and Bristol fashion by dawn.
