The CDT team made sure their detachment kit was ready to go,although they thought the new size bottles may cause concern!

Slowly and calmly Jim tried to explain to the confused and educationally challenged pilot that " No sir, I know they both start with a B and an O but what you drop are called B O M B S ------ these are called B O T T L E S "

The BBMF were delighted with their new acquisition. But some of its systems were a source of considerable puzzlement to SENGO and his men.

Beeayeate - Over there, brhind that tree.

What is the story behind your entry?

I'm having a competition on the side for identification of the aircraft type - that is the one thinking it only had one horse power.

Please anyone.

Sorry, no idea of any story behind the pic I used, it was sent to me yonks ago under the guise of "You may find this amusing." Maybe the location could be the subject of an on-going competition?

The RAF trying to avoid downsizing went to great lenghts to prove that these machines did in fact, lay eggs which, if they hatched after 3 weeks, would produce new little aircraft at absolutely no extra cost to the taxpayer. Unfortunately, the night shift drank the lot which halted the project.

'So I said, "They're pint bottles: they are the same measure you get over the counter, and they are in a pod, so as far as I'm concerned, chum, we fitted exactly what you asked for. "'
'That's tellin' 'im!"
'Yeah. Anyway, when I asked him how he ever expected them to keep missiles away, he went purple in the face, and he said..."

When P/O Peasemould wrote in the log the presence of "An odd whine on the port side", little did he know how close he was to the truth. However, his groundcrew were more concerned about the port on the starboard side.

Caption Judging.

Wow - 28 entrants with 34 captions and about 15,000 contemplations.

antipodean alligator was closest to the truth with

77 SQN Gunnies load the worlds first CBU, the Carlton Breweries Unit, during the Korean War !

Excellent entries ALL - showing that humour is alive and well with aviators.

Go Smoke is declared the winner with his entry

"Err...Sarge, when the wingco said 'make sure the enemy get bombed' I don't think he had this in mind"

Runners up were Mike Jenvey, Green Meat, ACW599, Beeayeate and SVK.

We now await, with eager expectation, for Go Smoke's contribution.

Thanks Milt,

Finding something suitable and aviation related has been tricky but I hope the pic below leaves plenty of room for different interpretations.



Thanks to airborne_artist for hosting the image
