Now this PFI will give greater operational flexibility, couple with a reduction in costs, and we can lease them to the civvies when there is nothing better to do - bags the first trip to Ibiza...............

"And as you can see it will be ideal for the Italian Airforce, we have left an opening at the rear of the cowls so you can fit an extra prop to reverse out of any trouble"

[Hempy]

Look skipper, I know 50 quid was a great bargain for a stereo, and I know he looked like an honest guy.....but I really don't think he's coming back.

[Vitesse]

Some good ones here!

For extra points can anyone name the type?

It's location is probably a bit tricky, so I'll reveal it's somewhere called Ziza in Jordan.

[Wander00]

HP Hinadai (not sure of spelling)? has it been savaged by the censor, or is it an "ambulance" cut out on top?

[dazdaz1]

Annoyed, annoyed!!!!!! I'm firkin furious!!!!! Who forgot to pack the custard cream bickkies.

"For extra points can anyone name the type?"........ Shorts S with landing gear?

[Stanwell]

Vickers Victoria?


p.s. ...and for an extra point - Engine: Eagle by Rolls Royce.

[Buster Hyman]

I say chaps, whats the time? Looks like some Mad Dogs coming this way?

[Stanwell]

"Well, that's it settled then.
Me and Tex here will have the Stateroom and you chaps can sleep under the wings."

[superq7]

Chap on the left, ' hmm well according to this I Pad '

[Vitesse]

is it an "ambulance" cut out on top?

It looks like a cut out, but you can just see the roundel continues upwards. The original pic isn't much better, but the fus actually just tapers from what you can see.

Stanwell is somewhere near...

[CoffmanStarter]

Then I'll bid ... RAF Vickers 264 Valentia Mk1 ?

[Fantome]

" . . . .. then there was this helluva bang and all this smoke filling the cabin and next thing I hears Flight Lieutenant Jones up the front there yell out at the top of his voice .. . EVACUATE . . . EVACUATE . . .. and blimey ,. .. that's exactly what I did . .. "

[NutLoose]

"Well, who'd 'ave figured it, lost, fifty miles out in the desert wiff a broken prop and who shud turn up but the bloody NAAFI wagon"

[Stanwell]

The aircraft type?

OK then, Coff's gone for the Valentia - so as a second guess, how about a Vickers Vernon with Napier Lions.

[Vitesse]

And Stanwell has it. I have no idea of the engines, though.

[NutLoose]

"I say Ginger, love your biscuits"


Or the RN version..

"I say Hobbs love your kno....."

[Danny42C]

"This texting thing is more trouble than it's worth - hope it never gets invented"

[ShyTorque]

Chap on extreme left: "I say, chaps - did someone forget to put the bromide in the tea? One is feeling rather...... "energetic" tonight!"

[Big Pistons Forever]

I should have know better than to believe the Maintenance Officer

"And best of all there will be all the necessaries fitted up for you at your new base in Jordan !"
