Following on from theatre tourists, senior officers devise a cunning scheme to qualify for the coveted Battle of Britain clasp.
2nd Place & Silver Medal Winner : ShyTorque

The session went tragically wrong when trainee gunner Simkins totally misunderstood the command: "In your own time - shoot the little Fokker"
1st Place & Gold Medal Winner : WhiteOvies

Quote:
Close your eyes and run like hell, if you make it we give you your Wings!
There is also a special mention in dispatches for F3WMB for NOT mentioning or inciting others to use the 'B' word



Strap in chaps WhiteOvies to take control !

Best ...

oops, I didn't mean that. I meant using F3WMB as a caption. The only thing I ever incite wrt the B-word is schadenfreude.

Time for a pre-photo caption...


Nutloose was confident it would eventually clear up with a course of anti biotics!
