Biggles is a fictional pilot with 98 booiks about him. There is a Cardinal Biggles in the Spanish Inquisition sketch though and apparently they used the name in another sketch on Flying Circus according to my Monty Python Guide

Walt told us one day though that he wasn't thinking about any of that
i'm pretty sure he said he just needed a name as a place holder, and they laughed at it so much it stuck
have to ask him for the whole story tho, my brain is a bit fuzzy..the ol memory isn't what it used to be

Wasn't Biggles a pilot? If so, maybe he crashed his plane. LOL. (Luaghs). Then again, LDW just came up with the name.

The Biggles in the Monty Python sketch was a reference to the pilot in the books. Probably all the English Pythons and most of their male audience had read the books when they were young.
