The Short Salami never went into production due to certain structural problems.

Well, it appears to have cleared the maintenance release with the following restriction: Only allowed to fly into head winds.

There are so many deserving suggestions that it's a difficult decision, but:
A "Jolly well done" to:
  • Javelinboy “I think we are going to need an extra prop on the tail”
  • Hempy “Never park between a Scimitar and a Cutlass.”
  • Wensleydale “There's a sale on in the Piper factory - Seminoles have been slashed
  • BPF “Gives new meaning to "getting some tail"
However, first prize must go to Jim’s brother for an exceptional mix of determination, quantity and quality, which reached a pinnacle with
<fanfare>
"Sarge, send an embassage to the the entourage to cancel their voyage of cabotage in the vicinage due to villanage in the garage, specifically decoupage of the fuselage and sabotage of the empennage."

Jim's brother: you have control.

I have control, HFD, and it's a great honour to win in the face of such stiff competition. I must say that your photo was great fun to caption - thank you!

I'll have a new competition ready very soon...
