Kolonel held over Elephant Strafing row

Prominent White Russian and part-time cigar afficionado, Kolonel Kahlua, was today held over alleagtions of animal cruelty and crimes against nature.
It is allegeded that the Kolonel (53) somehow managed to acquire a 1941 Supermarine Spitfire in a poker game gone wrong, and set about reeking havoc at Belfast Zoo.

Against all legal advice, the Kolonel issued a statement to the press as he was taken into custody: 'For fuck sake, this baby has two 20mm cannons and four Browning machine guns. What was I supposed to strafe? Squirrels?!'

He went on to add, 'Anyway, the elephant only got it after I overshot the Giraffe and the Spider-crab. It's not like elephants are endangered or anything, I mean I have a shit load of Ivory at home so there must be plenty of the big nosed bastards still out there'.

When asked to comment on how he could possibly shoot at one of gods creatures, the Kolonel responded smugly, 'What,an elephant? Easy.They're slower than a rhino so you just don't lead 'em so much with the 20mm tracer rounds'
