I can’t see Biggles letting any of the others take charge of the besieged city, if they have the choice! Nor can I see any of the others wanting to take charge if Biggles is there, except maybe early-series EvS. And Algy is Biggles’s XO, now and always, in the besieged city EvS is clearly the guy you send off on his own and oops look the enemy’s ammo has all blown up and their food stores have mysteriously vanished. Also, given his success in crocodile-infested rivers, I would not bet against EvS in the swimming marathon.
Now I’m amusing myself by giving each of them the job they’d be worst at:
1. Tricky, they’d all be fairly good at this. Ginger has conspicuous red hair, but he also has that streetwise background. Perhaps Bertie might be the worst at it, he’s a straightforward soul.
2. I think they’d all find this a bit of a challenge! I don’t think any of them alone would be much good, they would need to operate as a team.
3. I think Biggles would be the least naturally good at this, but we all know Biggles is entirely capable of overruling any physical limitations with sheer willpower <3
4. Ginger would not enjoy being in charge of a besieged city, and nor would Bertie. They could do it, but they would spend the entire time going ‘if Biggles was here he would do x.’
5. Even Biggles has to admit that EvS is a bit lacking in the sense of humour department, though I daresay with a gentleman’s education he can draw.
