Apache Helicopters to deploy to Libya

Ministry of Defence, Head of the British Army General Blackadders Office

Capt George Coltburst St Barleigh (ADC):

Oh, dash and blast all this hanging about, sir! I'm as bored as a pacifist pistol. When are we going to see some action?

General Blackadder:

Well, George, I strongly suspect that your long wait is nearly at an end. Surely you must have noticed something in the air...

Capt George Coltburst St Barleigh (ADC):

Well, yes, of course, but I thought that was Private Baldrick.

General Blackadder:

Unless I'm very much mistaken, soon we will be dragged further into the Libyan mission

Capt George Coltburst St Barleigh (ADC):

Well, hurrah with highly polished brass knobs on! About time!

Phone rings

General Blackadder:

Hello; the Whitehall Public Baths -- no running, shouting, or piddling in the shallow end. Ah,Prime Minister. Tomorrow at dawn. Oh,excellent.

See you later, then. Bye.

(hangs up)

Gentlemen, our long wait is nearly at an end. Tomorrow morning, Prime Insanity Minister invites you to mission creep. We're sending Apaches helicopters to Libya.

Capt George Coltburst St Barleigh (ADC):

Well, huzzah and hurrah! God Save the Queen, Rule Britannia, and Boo Sucks Colonel Gadaffi.

Colonel Flasheart – Army Air Corps

That's right. Goggles on, chocks away,last one back's a homo!  Hurray!

Libya Apache deployment approved by David Cameron

The UK is sending four Apache attack helicopters to the mission in Libya, after approval by the prime minister.

 If called upon, they will allow for swifter attacks on a wider range of smaller targets in urban areas.
