Starshina Bloomster arrives at Kalach

Post by Tom »

Gentlemen,

Bloomster successfully completed AF1 tonight. He did not shoot me down, collide with me (though he tried) or somehow blow me up. He is obviously made of good stuff! However, he did have one slight blot - "I've got it..." followed by "Oh..." as he nosed over on takeoff. Merlin followed him so he couldn't plow a lonely furrow on his own (see what I did there?).

Anyway, welcome Bloomster in your own individual ways. Bloomster you'll need to wipe your hands afterwards.

Carry on
In selecting the motto... 'all for one and one for all'... I have done so because it expresses what should be the creed to every Fighter Pilot. Never forget that you are an essential cog in the wheel, and if you break or fail it will let down your brother pilots, and the grimness of war allows for no such weakness.

How times have changed now to pass AF1 you just have to avoid shooting Tom.

Congrats on passing Bloombles. From Sundays performance you will soon be operational. I hope you enjoy the TP experience for many years to come

Welcome to the TP Bloomster. Good luck with remaining AFs, look forward to seeing you on Ops. Don't forget to ask Tom about joining "the club".

welcome to TP Bloomster. Good luck with Tom and I'm sure you will be on Ops soon.
We do offer all new pilots £20 if you do manage to shoot Tom down when he's least expecting it.
He enjoys it secretly.

Bloomster and I collided with a stack of chicken drumsticks left on the airfield, who could that be ?

He does likes to fly very close formation, must be to confuse enemy radar.

Welcome Bloomster, a fine start.

He's just showing off now.......

Seriously though - well done mate. One more to go and you get cleared for ops (we hope). Always good to have another pair of eyes up there.
