I was rereading Biggles in the Baltic when: Biggles pulled off his silk vest and... So with this useful piece of information, kindly provided by WEJ, and the holiday season combined, I made up a tiny Christmas present for id_ten_it and everyone else who cares for it :)
Happy holidays!

Trying hard not to burst out laughing, Algy watched Biggles' cheeks go through several shades of crimson, each one more intense than the previous.
  After an embarrassingly long moment spent staring at his unpacked present, Biggles managed to say: "Algy, what the hell...?"
  "You don't like them..." sighed Algy dejectedly. "You could at least try them on, you know. Cost me a pretty penny."
  "I don't doubt that..." muttered Biggles eyeing the two pieces of shimmering black silk that a closer inspection had revealed to be a vest and a pair of pants, both tailored for a rather close fit.

While browsing ebay, I found a Biggles Goes Home cover that I haven't seen before.
If you compare it to the classical illustration, there seem to be two kinds of illustrators:



  :D run Biggles, run!

This is a part of an unfinished piece I started a long time ago. I thought I might as well take some bits out of it, when it doesn't seem like finishing itself. It takes place shortly after their return from France.

Now I have to go and finish Burning, ha.

I am rereading the 'Spitfire Parade' now, I finally got hold of an English copy. What really bothers me, though, is that they are not using their radios at all. In some of the stories the plot could be seriously changed if they used the radio, so that might be why Johns conveniently 'forgot' it existed, when he was adapting the stories from the WWI ones... And this in turn makes it an even bigger bummer. Oh well, at least Bertie is there and his presence makes it so much better :)


Here, have this great scene from the Battle of Britain film to set things right. (I might have posted it before, can't remember :) )




Also, have this 'summary clip' from the Czech Battle of Britain film the 'Dark Blue World'. I told you about it a few times in the past. I do recommend it, although it's really rather sad. Tell me if you would want to watch it.
