Hey everyone! its me TailEndCharlie, your favourite blogger! Today, I decided to add to your education about my life and replace your fluffy unicorns with RAF planes.
Beginning
So to start with, before I had further experience, I mainly started to work there for EGGS! I was picked out as a tail gunner. My nickname was tail end… Charlie ( Tail end Charlie so yes…) . EMBARASSMENT.
Slang
When i started training, I learnt a lot of slang ( RAF slang of course) : Bandit= An enemy fighter Bang on = Right on target Gone for a Burton = killed in action Hot Potato = risky operation In a drink= Fell on water/the sea O.P= Operation or mission Mae west= inflatable life jacket Piece Of Cake= Easy mission Skipper= Pilot Wizard= Brilliant Wizard Prang = Successful O.P
Wellington bomber
After not much practice, ma and my friends , Bill,Com and Paddy became bombers , on Wellington Planes . Some others took photos of our allies ( since we were fearless Axis ) . On my mission there was a slight problem. The crew was alright… but me? I was found laying on the ground covered in blood. I was taken back to our base
