  1. Here’s a Spanks-giving story for all of you:
    According to my Dad, who served in the Fleet Air Arm -the aircraft-carrier part of the Royal Navy – during World War 2, an urgent message was once sent from Mombasa to London.
    It requested 50 air screws (the technical term for propellers) to be sent to the Fleet Air Arm base in Mombasa as soon as possible.
    Unfortunately, the Wren who transmitted the message made a bit of a cock-up.
    About a month later, a ship arrived with 100 pilots and navigators on board.
    “The 50 air crews that you requested?”
    I guess that 30 strokes on her bare bottom was the starting point.
