| Aerial Polo at The Castle Spongg |
 |
|
A game is about to start. Here you can see the pilots 'stacking up' prior to the first chukka. |
This was an unused illustration by Maggy Roberts which was too good not to use. I liked the whole Castle Spongg halcyon days of aerial polo and indoor motor racing sort of thing so much I am currently writing a vague outline set in just this sort of world - a bit like Blandings Castle on acid, or something. The registrations are aircraft that I have once owned. Caption reads: "Old hands used to swear by war-surplus Sopwith Camels but the true aficionados played a more accurate chukka with the Gypsy Moth. Shell-shocked fighter-aces were the best when you got them sober; they could trounce the best side civvy street could muster without even breaking a sweat." B/W postcard, unnumbered, given out on UK/US tour for The Big Over Easy July/August 2005. 1000 editions. |
