When the top-secret
WW I airbase at Sniffington-on-Snide (Code Name: “Daisy Hill Puppy
Farm”) was dismantled, this curious device was found buried under the old
hangar. This is the re-construction of that relic, created for the edification
of the current RAF, that they might document yet another facet of their history.
Why it was buried there is subject to conjecture, but records also found at the
site indicate that the entire project was Top Secret.
According to those
records, a certain Flt. Lt. “Snoopy” Brown actually took this craft into
combat over France on several occasions. These records also revealed the
existence of yet another German pilot nicknamed the Red Baron. He was apparently
from the Province of Kershu, as the records mention “Kershu Red Baron” in
several places. Kershu itself was apparently absorbed and renamed by the Third
Reich. Unfortunately the records also reveal that Flt. Lt. Brown was somewhat
less than successful in sorties against the Kershu Red Baron, and was allegedly
shot down over France on one occasion and had to “walk home” with the
assistance of the French underground.
The blacked out
areas on this re-construction may be missing parts, or they may be redacted by
the re-construction’s creators. Top Secret, you know…
