Harry Harrison and Larry Harrison. I love this account so much.
On This Day 1815 Sqn Ldr Harry Larrison & Flt Lt Larry Harrison performed their famous "Pantomime Horse" routine to lift morale for Hurricane pilots setting off from #RAFLuton for the Battle of Waterloo, this led to the popular saying of "Horsing about" #AvGeekpic.twitter.com/sfmSsuNDgj

Clearly a typo. The photo's probably from War of 1812

Ah, so these are the two who led the British Cavalry to victory on the battlefield? I’m assuming it was Sqn Ldr Larrison who said the immortal “Merde” after victory?

This is why I follow RAF Luton, despite them being Crabbies. You can't never say they don't not learn you nowt.

I thought that expression came from the flight of Flying Sgt Thomas Foolery's and his navigator's, Brigadier Gerard, pantomime Spitfire, here being towed aloft by a Mosquito from an airfield near Blenheim.pic.twitter.com/9HhsKU2ZnF

Interesting fact. Sqn Ldr Larrison is wearing the upgraded Tena Ladette, designed to be worn on long range patrols.

I bet the Duke of Wellington was happy to have air support that day

Even happier when the Luftwaffe turned up under Red Baron Blucher !
