"Yes, it's had one careful lady owner and comes with a full service history. All the extras for that model year as well. I'm losing a fortune selling it to you at that price".

Due to the heavy use of these forums we would prefer it if you are going to post something then please make sure it is worthwhile and at least 15 characters long.

We're hoping to install a winch position here, but other than that we reckon we've got this new Light SAR contract in the bag.



And if I may add a suggestion for the curved runway picture

Jack Nicklaus needed to iron out some nasty habits if he was ever going to make it as an airfield designer.

Astounding quality - all good, nothing bad.
God knows how I'll choose one - however, I'll attempt to do so on Friday evening.

Top quality captions one and all.
Couldn’t choose an outright winner so shunted the problem up the line and let the fair hand of madam smoke pick.

The following are mentioned in despatches for outstanding wit and an eye for the absurd.


Mike Jenvey
"Bruce thought that the riggers had gone a bit too far with robbing parts from the hangar queen..."

"Right, when I nod my head, twist it like mad!!!

Oggin Aviator
Nah, it'll never fly - I can't see any Lift Pixies!

Darth Nigel
"No need to feel stupid, these glow-plug engines can be a b@gger to start"

"Stop whinging! You're lucky to be in the UAS this year, you know"

"I envy you, mate. They'll name an award after you, mark my words. Now in you get, and I'll start towing you. Oh, and it's £10 cash-in-advance, OK?"
