FOREIGN NEWS - VBCW ACTION IN BORSETSHIRE

Long term followers of this blog will recollect the previous intervention of Superintendent Ronald Bigsworth-Hill and the Wiltshire Police Flying Column in the affairs of the Hereford VBCW, and their subsequent return to Borsetshire (or Wiltshire, or wherever, but definitely somewhere that is not-Herefordshire). The Foreign Correspondent of the "Herefordshire Times" has, however, brought back from such "furrin' parts" these splendid images of a recent parade of a re-fortified WPFC:

Superintendent Ronald (aka Sir Gilbert Hill aka Doug exEM4) has provided full and loving details of the build-up of the WPFC on his blog, "The View from the Hill", together with a blow by blow account of their most recent "Training Exercise" under the beneficent eye the Bishop of Felpersham. New characters mix with those already much loved in the Herefordshire VBCW, such as Mad Wullie McSpaniel ("satchel bomber and confirmed maniac") and Nanny Pankhurst (who we seem to remember was once "saved from death" by her diamond encrusted girdle). Well worth a read!

The Wiltshire Police Flying Column in all its "refortified" power.

(1). One of the glories of Doug's blog is the choice of names. We particularly admire the distaff side of Sir Rufus Pitt-Bulstrode's family - his formidable wife, Lady Ferocity (usually accompanied by her secretary, Audacity Bunty-Thimble, her SIS-agent houseguest, Miss Temerity Ping, and her doberman bitch, Bitch) and Sir Rufus' five daughters, Ladies Anticipation, Persistence, Recreation, Acceptance and Reality (it being explained that "Sir Rufus wanted a son from the outset, and it is thought that his daughters names reflect this long-thwarted ambition").
