Mel gets his Wings

Wiff a flight in a "Lion Moth Airingplane at Wickenby"

At last the day has finally arrived, The Flitters and Plumbers at the prison have been arranging this for months,
Everybody had to make up stories to tell Mel so he didn't find out, and it even had to be kept secret from the painters in case they blabbed and gave the game away.
First me, Marge and Phil met up with Mrs C who is called Viv, she is a great fan of mine and it was a pleasure for her to meet me.
She is a lovely lady so Babs was appy too. We also met Sarah who is Mels daughter and Andy who has nothing to do wiff Mel but is a plumber at the prison!
Mouse was telling Mel lies about a pretend water leak and needed Mels help, Mel was not too happy because it meant he had to get up, poor chap!
Eventually he said yes, but as long as Mouse took him to the papershop first so Mel could get his Newspaper.
It was lucky the leak at Mouses house was only pretend otherwise Cal would be soaked by the time they got there!

There was just time for a quick group phornograph, I did fink if we were not quick Mel might get there first, that would be a worry.
If Mel got there first he would not know which plane to get into and he did not know about the flight anyway!
Phil said we better not be long because we have gone "Radio Silence" so could not send Mouse a text to see where he was.

Yikes, Viv had to slam on the brakes and squeal to a halt, "It was Mel on the mobile telingphone", Sarah looked worried.
I do hope Mel does not smell a cat!
Phew, good old Viv saved the day, she just told Mel a few more porkies and the silly man believed it all, he he.

Well "Babs" made it on time, wonder where the others are?

OY! Urry up you lot or he will get here before you do!

Ah, here comes Clarkey. Good man!
Hope he has not bumped into any yoofs on skatingboards on the way here!

Wow, Marge said that this will be Mel soon, Mmmmm, I hope not cos this is a plane wifout and engine.
Mels plane will definately have an engine or it would not take off!

Akshun stations, they are here.
Marge said she hopes we don't have to wait till Mel has finished his Sunday Suppliment or we might be here all day.

Mel looked shocked when he put down his paper.
He said "What is Babs doing here?"!

He was even more suprised when he saw all the plumbers here, The poor old fella still did not know what was going on when Sarah and Viv sneaked up behind him!

Mel wanted to know why we were all here. Babs decided to put the old fella out of his misery.
I told him "Babs has arranged for you to go for a fly in an airingplane".
He was really chuffed but he said we should have told him so he could have worn some clean underpants! Urghh!

While we were waiting for Mels Peelot Babs showed him what to expect wiff a go on the Stimulator.
It was a bit tricky there was bloomin "Huns" everywhere! Phil kept saying "Shoot, Shoot!"
Marge slapped Phil on the head and told him not to teach Babs all this violence!
"Poor Phil, started to cry in front of all his prison pals "

Babs took Mel out to the waiting Plane, Its called a "Lion Moth" and it is older than Mel!
Mouse said he hopes its not too much like Mel though or it will never start working!
Poor Mel !
Babs finks the plumbers are rotten to him, its not his fault he is so old!

Babs had a good look over the plane just in case, Its called a BF or "Before Fright Servicing".
Phil used to do this in the RAF on real airingplanes and none of them ever crashed so he must have done a good job!
Babs was a bit concerned that they had used gigantic Pencils to hold up the top wing,
Marge said it should be OK because if the top wing fell off they would still have the bottom wing to fly home wiff,
she said its called a "Bye Plane" because if one of the wings actually fell off, you would get "Bye".

Mel started moaning that he was cold and had forgotten to bring his coat, luckily the man in charge had a imitation wool suit that might fit.
It was a bit tricky to put on so Mel needed some help, Poor Viv, imagine having to dress him every day before he goes to work!

Babs and Viv helped do the ankle zippers. Nobody would help Mel with the Fly zip though so he had to do that himself!

Babs had done a good job checking the airingplane and the peelot was very pleased wiff me.
When the man in charge told Mel he was to travel in the back seat Mel started to cry, he said he gets sick in the back seat of his car so he wanted to drive!
It was a tricky situation but Mel insisted, front seat or he was going home!

The Peelot was not too happy but he decided to let Mel drive.
He asked if anyone else wanted to go in the back but none of the plumbers were too keen,
Clarkey would have gone but he would not have seen out of the window, perhaps he could use Babs booster seat!

Babs said she would go wiff Mel, she told him not to go too fast and not to do any Aerobics because the seat belts did not fit properly and Babs did not have a Parrashoot.

Before we went Babs had to jump out and spin the propeller, Mel said this winds up the machine so it goes fast when he takes the brakes off.

Bloomin heck, Fink Mel has left it in gear cos the blinkin fing wont budge!
