The Aeroplane Disaster


The Aeroplane Disaster

One sunny day in 1942 Caleb was flying the Queen to NZ.  She was going to NZ to have a tour of NZ.
First Caleb let the Queen on board the World War 2 DC3.  It was painted camo with lots of bullet holes in the side.  The Queen sat down in a seat behind the cockpit and then the plant took off.

The plane continued climbing to 3000 feet above the ground.  Then it started flying in a straight line. 

Suddenly Caleb heard the chatter of machine gun fire, the plane turned violently.  Caleb was trying to shake off the squadron on Messerschmitt BF109’s.  It was no use.  One engine was spitting out flames and smoke.  Caleb ran out of the cockpit and straight to the ball turret.  Caleb swung the turret so it was facing the enemy squadron and then Caleb opened fire.  One 109 went down in flames.  

Suddenly the turret blew up.  Caleb fell and rolled to avoid being hit by falling glass.  Meanwhile the Queen had fainted, the plane was nose diving to the ground.  Suddenly the cockpit blew up and the Queen woke up.

She screamed!

Caleb gave her a parachute.  Caleb had already put his parachute on and loaded his automatic pistol.  Caleb shot the door lock and kicked it open.  He told the Queen it was safe to jump.  She looked out the open door, hesitated, lost her balance and fell.  She pulled the ripcord of the parachute then she floated gently to the ground.

Meanwhile Caleb had ripped out the remaining glass from the broken ball turret, picked up a sniper rifle and clambered onto the roof of the flaming DC3.  He saw a ME109 he took careful aim with the sniper rifle and pulled the trigger.  The gun was too powerful and he fell backwards off the DC3 and only just got a little look at the 109 as it fell to the ground and belly landed, it’s wings torn off by trees.  Caleb had obviously hit the pilot.  Caleb forgot where he was, suddenly he remembered and pulled the ripcord and floated to the ground. 

After a bit of looking he found an old windmill with the Queen’s parachute tangled in it and a squadron of German soldiers aiming their guns at the Queen.  Suddenly a squad of good hunters shot the Germans.  The Germans flopped to their faces.  Caleb got a big surprise because the good hunters were Emily, Jackson, Cory and Amity.  They knew their way around the jungle so they helped Caleb and the Queen out of the jungle.  Caleb had rescued the Queen. 

When they reached the tour group everyone wanted Caleb to drive so he did.  When they reached the Queen’s palace all of them got knighted. 

Caleb asked the Queen if he could take her for another flight one day.
She said “NO!”.
