Have gone through all my Dale Brown books again, Looks like i might have to dig the old Biggles books out of the loft and have a read of them again for old times sake!

Jolly good idea old bean, they always strike me as being an awful lot better than I remember them when I pick one up for old times sake 🙂

What he was thinking of was probably more like a member of the Supermarine Sea Lion family, or more likely Supermarine Seagull I to III (the fore-runners of the Seagull V, which became the Walrus) but most probably the Vickers Viking family.

Sounds spot on to me 😀

Isn’t that a Monty Python sketch? 🙂

At the Biggles Forum we have often discussed the Vandal in particular. WEJ was great at making up aircraft, but often it seems he had a type in mind. Like the Supermarine Walrus. Though it is often interesting when he used standard types like the Sunderland. Certainly as a kid it was exciting when WEJ put together the latest plane for the mission! Amphibians rule though.
