Wotto chaps, fine day in blighty, what?

The following telegram is sent to you as we prepare for our final push to cross over into foreign territory at first light/last darkness. 3 comrades have arrived at the rendez-vous point on the coast of Kent. 3 comrades are missing in action.

Last known movements were as follows;

5.00pm - Car 1 left Nottingham (Rob B, Paul, Ant) with all equipment & provisions packed & ready to go.

6.30pm - Car 2 (The Chucklebus) left Nottingham with The MotorKiller driving and Mr J & Lloyd playing rear gunners on the back seat...

8.20pm - radio (text) contact is made with the Chucklebus. The chuckling has ended because they have had to return to base to collect Mr J's passport....

9.20pm - Car 1 arrived at the secret rendez-vous point (The Travelodge in Canterbury).

10.00pm - the Chucklebus has arrived back at base. WIll they make it to the rendez-vous in time for the advance across the ENGLISH channel? We set off at dawn.

Radio silence will now be maintained until first light.
