The Flying Rajput's railway carriage, safe at Llandudno Junction..
Mohandas and Eric Rajput “The flying Rajputs” have landed safely here at Passing Clouds following their dramatic escape from captivity and the evil clutches of a notorious Calcutta travelling circus in Northern India.
.
The brothers, the only known one arm gay trapeze artists active today, have been telling of extreme cruelty and deprivation suffered whilst in the hands of the circus.
.
“They treated us like animals,” Mohandas revealed, cleverly unwrapping a donner kebab with his big toe.
.
And Eric spoke of the psychological torture he endured, “they hid my hair dryer!” he lamented, nervously fingering the side of his turban.
But it was Passing Clouds Celtic historian and extreme survival expert, Rannoch Gallacher, who was the mastermind behind the audacious leap to freedom. Heavily disguised as the American entertainment guru and boxing promoter, Renton Bellsmyre, he was able to infiltrate the dark and murky world of Indian showmen. In an act of great courage, he uncoupled the Rajput’s wagon from the rest of the circus train, halfway between Bombay and Bangalore. Then hauled the brothers back to North Wales behind the borrowed Ffestiniog light railway engine, ‘Prince of Portmadoc.’
A modest Rannoch would only say, “aye, It wisnae disnae world, ye ken, the noo. Am jist glad the wee brithers huv escaped yon scunners. Mind ah dinae care too much fer yon kilt lifting activities, ye ken.”

You’re a braver man than me, Gunga Din.

Ah wiz helped by the fact they can only go roon in circles but dinnae get caught in the middle or ye could be there fur ages. Slainte Mhar, Rannoch.
