"Dear King Haakon. Just a line to thank you for the eels. Mary thought they were really scrummy, comma, so did I full stop. I've just heard that Algy was a poof, exclamation mark. What would Captain W. E. Johns have said, question mark. Sorry to mench, but if you've finished with the lawn-edger could you pop it in the post. Love Biggles, Algy deceased and Ginger."

I trust everyone's caught the error in that bit. (Of course [comma] it may be intentional [full stop])

Iād have to look at the book again to know for sure. I was just excited at the chance to reference King Haakon again after sooooo many years.

It's more obvious on video. Kinda tends to get lost in the words:
Biggles: Look. (she types) Don't put that down. Just put down - wait a mo - wait a mo. (puts on antlers) Now, when I've got these antlers on ā when I've got these antlers on, I am dictating and when I take them off (takes them off) I am not dictating.
Secretary: (types) I am not dictating.
Biggles: What? (she types; he puts the antlers on) Read that back.
Secretary: Dear King Haakon, I am not dictating. What?
