Bumped into Santa on his summer holidays in Morecambe and got talking to him. He was pretty peeved, "all those cards and TV programmes, do they really think you can deliver a billion presents in one night with one sleigh and a few flying reindeer? Do they ever show me using GPS and googlemap? Anyone would think I still lived in the olden' days! The poor reindeer started getting so tired years ago when populations went up. So I had to get some newer equipment to keep up the schedule. Could you draw it for me so I don't look too old fashioned?" I just had to oblige to by sure of getting my Christmas pressies this year!
Who knew Santa used a bespoke big-wing, six-engined Vulcan with four Presentbolt Air-to-Chimney Aerial Present Scattering Systems and a ventrally-mounted Hawker P.2412 supersonic V/STOL to get to people's roofs all over the world? Well you do now! An early, but Merry Christmas to all you shipbucketeers! (Keep your ears open for those Olympus engines this year...)
