Yeah fam I totally got this from my boy turing
Epic war fail
I tell it like it is with no BS and what you see is what you get so deal with it girlfriend
my nan died, my uncle went to court, my other nan died, i got verruca, i had to go clinic, i had to go haircut, had to go dentist then my grandad died
Detail I'd never noticed before: the pilots have risen in rank over the seasons...from Flight Lieutenant to Group Captain
I've got bone spurs and I'm not even lying!

Biffy and Spud, two RAF pilots who speak entirely in modern youth/chav slang, have spent two years supposedly cracking the Enigma Code. When called to deliver results, they reveal that Hitler has personally been sending messages commenting on their war efforts — much to the pilots' delight. The sketch satirises WWII heroism by juxtaposing 1940s RAF culture with contemporary street slang.

The RAF Pilots sketch is the show's most iconic recurring segment, appearing across all 3 series. The pilots speak entirely in contemporary youth/chav slang despite being WWII airmen. Their ranks visibly increased each series as they outlived peers by avoiding flying. BBC programme page: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wswb4
