The History

Following  his escape from Down the Pipe, Turdesley had donned his flying goggles and is back in his latest and biggest adventure yet ! 


The Mission

Flying Officer Turdesley (Strangely Brown to his chums) has been drafted into a top secret dicey-do to destroy the evil Baron Hair Flick and his illicit empire.

The mission starts with him floating through the air avoiding the toxic clouds under his own cheeser power in order to reach Hair Flick's Lair and receive his first gong.

Then at the rendevous point he will be issued with his onboard Mk 2 browning ready to dispatch bandits.

Hair Flick has an army of determined bandits ready to protect his empire including robo-fans, swarms of hench-hairs and much more.

Eight tricky missions await brave Turdesley with the final being a showdown with Flick himself at his factory.

Good Luck Sir and we salute you !
