They'd been allowing female pilots into the Service for a while now but the time had definitely come to raise the standards at the selection centre.

BA's introduction of a rapid response team to complaints from passengers denied an upgrade was proving popular with the cabin crew.

The revised anthropometric limits applied to the Phantom force caused a degree of confusion until some AEA issues were addressed.

Or:

"That wasn't a UCM. It was just an ordinary movement".

I'll get my coat . . .

The 2nd Sea Lord's first attempt at a gay recruiting poster left a lot to be desired.

Although an excellent pilot, Vicky Pollard could never resist the urge to top up her all-over tan.

Short sighted Lt Cdr Neilson was heard to say "Nice Beaver"

Lt Presley replied rather sheepishly "Yes......I've just had it stuffed"

Surprised nobody's used "Does my bum look big in this?"

Anyway my entry is:

"DEFRA have now conclusively proved that you can make a dutch roll with pressed ham..."

Mark.

The compulsory drug testing team finally caught their man red handed. With 40kg of prime crack in his cockpit, there was no way he was going to talk his way out of this one!

Drinking on the weather forecast had been a serious error of judgement and the Nav suspected that the 17 Vodka Red Bulls had not yet worn off.

or

"Yup, so this position is called the 'butterfly crane', it provides an enormous sense of peace and calm and, if you get the breathing right, can really help with concentration on the bomb runs - you should try it"

Boss Eyed is still rolling on the deck/floor with mirth - but in between his tears of joy he told me his roll of honour runs like this:

In Third Place:
An Teallach - "The 2nd Sea Lord's first attempt at a gay recruiting poster left a lot to be desired."

In Second Place:
Circuit Basher - "I knew it was a bad idea giving the refuelling fleet to the Navy - the things you have to do to get tanked these days"

Top Banana:
Darth Nigel - Pilot: "...and during my last annual, the medical chappie put vaseline on his finger and stuck it in my mouth! Can you believe it?"


Dishonourable Mentions to ABIW for: "That's something you don't see very often....an ar@e in the front seat of a fast jet!" Funny, and indeed 70% accurate; but the 30% Bon Oeufs in the category mean the prize cannot be awarded for it!

and to Toxteth O'Grady for: "Must be a Boscombe crew evaluating the effects of a crack in the canopy." Look, matey: Flight Testing is a serious profession - alright?

So step forward Darth Nigel, thank your crew, Mum etc., and offer up the next pic. for our captioneers to work on.

Darth Nigel has been captured by aliens from the planet Whitehall, so Circuit Basher has offered the following for your caption creativity:

Nav to Pilot: These topographical charts are certainly a lot more interesting since Paul Raymond got the publications contract!
