I always thought it was 1834 and Maj. Richardson was repairing Meteors... you live and learn!

The wind-powered tumble dryer was never the same after he hit it with that spanner. Nearly resulted in El Alamein being called off as no-one had a clean uniform that week.

As can be seen from the photograph, Maj. Richardson was known for having a very large tool. He was not using it bareback when photographed, there appears to be some protection for his posterior.

Everyone forgets that Eeyore was actually a trained pilot and flew over 1000 combat missions, only getting shot down once at which point he used a balloon to float home on a strong breeze...pic.twitter.com/ScyXAvnCL1

Don’t forget, he was also an honorary member of the women’s auxiliary balloon corp aswell!
