Bob Cotsford Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Calvery formed troops to scout ahead of the army, with the advent of trench warfare and the simultaneous development of aircraft observation aircraft were used to observe the enemy, then fighters evolved to shoot down enemy observers - where did he get it wrong Phil?

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Oh come on chaps, lighten up, it's only an chap called Kermit flying aeroplanes. Surely we can't get too serious about this? BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 depends on your accent Phil, 'calvery' did raise an eyebrow the first time he used it but it was easily overlooked as he is a septic. If I had his money I'm sure I could get away with calling horse troops anything I liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
