The Never Ending Story

......his poor spelling and failure to stay on the subject.

This upset Cappy because, although he was a direct descendant of Captain Cook, the family had fallen on hard times, and Cappy had only been able to complete Grade 4 before he was pressed into service as a beggar on the approaches to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This pulled in $800.00 a day which allowed his parents to spend their time entertaining down at the local club.

This all came to an end when ..............................................

...... Cappy was arrested for begging and vagrancy and for impersonating a toll booth position (he'd set up a fake toll booth and was fairly raking it in) - by a police officer who bore more than a passing resemblance to a well-known NES character. 

 

The officer placed Cappy in a Paddy Wagon, which in size and shape and colouring, made Cappy a bit suspicious. For a start, it didn't have..........

...and this prompted OT to rigorously lecture the group (which had now grown to about twenty people)

on the Irish settlers of WA.

Almost from the time they got off the ship they were buying wives from the local Bung Bung tribe. In fact these days you never see Bung Bungs in street demonstrations because there were no women to have children.

The WA Police had Paddy Wagons, there were Paddy buses and Paddy trains Paddy Taxis and even Paddy Bikes!

 

OT's cousin Morton even owned a fleet of Paddy Drifters which were hired for anything from Skywriting to Shark Watch to Fire Spotters to ...................

.....Recreational Rabbit Shooting (RRS), right through to Recreational Aerobatics (which included bursting water-filled balloons with propellors).

 

But it was when Morton applied to have a Paddy Drifter Recreational Passenger permit, with an estimated average of 11 passengers every trip (because no-one wanted to miss a trip in a Paddy Drifter, and they'd all go along for the ride, regardless of whether they wanted to go somewhere or not), CASA started an inquiry into just how 11 people would fit into a Paddy Drifter.

The CASA bloke was a bit thick and asked what the IRA have to do with aviation regulations. 

 

" Day control it all, don't ya know, and I'd be happy to introduce ye to question dem if you don't value your kneecaps" replied Morton with a gesture which made it clear that .....

So they contacted them, promising that, if accepted, all AUF aircraft would be painted green, that fairies would be allowed to live in the bottom of every AUF member's garden, that "that" would always be pronounced dat, that AK47s & cemtex would be stored in every basement (just in case) and ......

King Eochaid sid he needed an air force and had his best thinkers copy the Da Vinci rotorcraft. It had always been reluctant to get off the ground. "We tried" said Da rather unconvincingly. They fitted a reconditioned Mazda 3 engine and the rest is history. The enemies were wiped out by falling schrapnel.

 

King Eochaid knighted Oengus Tuirmed Temark and Rogain Mac Arndii for their brilliant idea of putting an engine the the rotorcraft. This was an early version of awarding a Pilot Certificate to a member of AUF - still a dangerous thing to do and prone to ....................
