RAF BAnter,- good for a Sunday :D

For starters, here:

Hilarious and known to many.
Some of the text:
Squadron Leader
Top hole. Bally Jerry pranged his kite right in the how's your father. Hairy blighter, dicky-birdied, feathered back on his Sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harper's and caught his can in the Bertie.
And now the contest. Put together a decent translation. hehe  :t

Bally Jerry would probably be a German with some balls?
Pranging the kite in "how's your Father" would be showing up behind you in his aircraft?
Hairy blighter, - I have seen "hairy" being used as "dangerous", "close call", - let's call it a close call.
Dicky-birdied, - now that one would refer to a maneuver, but which one? "I dickie-birdied"
Feather back on ones Sammy, now that is tougher. Ideas?
To take a waspy? They sting, don't they?
Betty Harper? A hot girl in a 1930's western, which means ...what?
The can? The aircraft
Bertie? Bertie Wooster? A rather silly/unlucky/clumsy fellow from P.G.Wodhouse's novels from the 30's, a very popular reading material during WW2. Beautifully displayed by Hugh Laurie in a British TV series from the 90's or so.

I think a lot of it is rhyming slang which is influenced by contempory pop culture, some of the English guys will be able to figure it out better. Pranging is crashing, Bally is sort off like "bloody" and Jerry is zee Germans. The first line would mean A germen crashed into the rear end of my plane.

Top hole. - Golf Euphemism - Great job, wtg etc.
Bally Jerry pranged his kite right in the - Bloody German crashed his plane right into the
how's your father. - Hows your father is used to talk about sex, "a bit of how's your father with the barmaid" but in this case it refers to the pilots genitals
Hairy blighter (Hairy troublesome man), dicky-birdied (misuse here, dickie bird is slang for 'word'), worded
feathered back on his Sammy, - (Sammy is rhyming slang; Sammy Halls = balls) Lost his balls
took a waspy, - No clue whatsoever but assume "bailed out"
flipped over on his Betty Harper's - The plane flip over - I'm guessing here, no clue what Betty Harper's means
and caught his can in the Bertie. (Bertie Smalls = Balls - again, rhyming slang for nuts "caught his plane in the balls"
