Legless in Seattle


I've appointed my old mate Doug Bader as test-pilot for the 2025 flying season.

Doug tragically lost his legs and a thumb flying in one of my vertical take-off drones, and has been kicking around like a lost soul ever since (Ed. How does a lost soul kick without legs? Sharpen your pencil or you'll never work in this blog again.)

Commenting on his appointment, Captain Bader said "Bollocks."

He was supposed to say. "I'm delighted to have been given the opportunity to power TELEDRONE into the 21st Century, tho' I could have used a salary."

"Doug... You're fired."
