I was under the impression that the aeroplane would be brought to my studio in order that I might do my sketches in preparation for the images I wanted to create, but it turned out that the aeroplanes don't just come willingly, one has to capture them. (bugger!)
I have employed a number of local peasants along with my entire estate staff, to catch me an aeroplane. They have all been running around the woods and clearings brandishing butterfly nets in an optimistic manner. So far no aeroplanes caught.
To assist, I have been playing Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries". Loudly.
I remain optimistic that we will soon have one for me to draw.
The butterfly nets aren't working. Some fisherman from the eastern province have come up with an idea, so they're planning on testing it on a clear day. We've heard that the airplanes favour fine weather.
