Armstrong and Miller - Pilots - Wartime Food
2 RAF pilots who speak in a clipped accent but with modern teenager lingo. In this sketch they discuss how bad wartime food is, such as powdered egg, which i...
The majority of the topics on RP deal with current issues and some serious topics, however, I have found that having a clever and well-timed sense of humor can be one of the many necessary tools in your "bag of leadership skills". A well placed comedic remark can relieve stress and help others realize that things are not as bad as they initially seem.
A few years ago, I came across two British comedians (Armstrong and Miller), who portray a pair of "entitlement generation" RAF pilots stuck in a WWII, "greatest generation culture". Sound familiar? The pair talk in a sort of mono-syllabic, fractured English, lingo that is typical of 21st century antisocial UK youth. Like Beatle Bailey or Sad Sack, they have a constant on-going culture clash with their superiors and brothers in arms alike.
Below are a few short skits on some timeless military topics. NOTE: There are many more, just do a youtube search on "Armstrong and Miller Pilots"

Lt Col Robert Canfield
RAF Banter - Monty Python's Flying Circus
"RAF Banter" premiered on 14 November 1974 in Series 4, Episode 3 of "Monty Python's Flying Circus". The sketch features Terry Jones as Bovril, Eric Idle as ...
Love it. I recognize Hugh Laurie from "House" and Mr Bean.
Reminds me of the WWII RAF Banter sketch from Monty Python. There is a thread of truth in that sketch. The RAF pilots did not have secure radio comms to communicate, so they developed a sort of banter (like CB radio lingo) to communicate with each other. It gave the Germans a lot of trouble understanding what the Brits were saying. The Brits would change it up frequently to keep the German pilots guessing.
