On 17th April:
Hopefully I'll have access to the 'net this time next week to mark - but if I go suddenly go quiet - I've deployed!!!
Well, it looks like Lafyar Cockov has deployed!

For want of a better idea, can I suggest that thread starter airborne_artist picks the next winner so we can move on.

So it seems Lafyar has deployed just in time to miss not only the Election but also the far more important declaration of the winner of the current round of the caption comp.

So as Returning Officer for the PPrune constituency I declare the result as follows:

With quite a lot of votes:

ZH875 with "Thats the last time we ask a Royal Helicopter Pilot to be involved in the design of a new Helicopter."

With slightly more votes:

Onan with "In some ways, it was safer than a normal helicopter. It did after all have two tail rotors...and it never actually left the ground."

But with the most votes:


An Teallach with "The AAC H&SAW Officer has just purchased 6 decoys to be parked outside the mess during official p1ss-ups in case anyone gets trousered enough to fancy a jolly."

and I therefore declare An Teallach to be the current caption comp. champion and to be the setter of the next challenge.

Aw shucks! cheers AA.

I'm afraid I'm a bit busy this weekend and would therefore like to invite anyone with a suitable image to do the honours.

Bernard was disqualified from the Jimmy Edwards Memorial Trophy moustache growing competition when he was later discovered in the gents, combing his pubic hair through his epaulettes and over his collar.

Harry was delighted to hear that Typhun Tranche 3 was cancelled and that the Sopwith Camel was being re-introduced as a cost saving measure.

Over a liquid lunch, the Farnborough boffins became convinced that they could create ground based St Elmos fire in the car park.

The Station Commander said that the next member of the Station Execs who pulled his moustache would be charged.

The Gentlemen residents of Cholmondleigh-cum-Cholmondleigh had decided to start a moustache growing competition while they waited for broadband to be connected to the village.

It used to work as a replacement for the artificial horizon, but since I met m**y I can't get it up on one side any more.

Representatives of the Ministry of Defence scorned the idea that they might be out-of-touch with the needs of the modern air force.

The debate continued over whether Group Captain Phippsly Montague's moustache was indeed a waste of space...or not?

Dinner Ladies were often known to sport a little fuzz on the upper lip, but even so the chaps were growing ever more apprehensive about Mrs Hettersthwaite



Wing Commander Wiggins knew he'd finally have to five up one of his hobbies as his moustache would no longer fit inside his black leather S&M slave hood.



Later that day, Fl/Lt Biffy Caldercott was amazed when he read the letter. It was a mystery to him why he alone had failed the training programme for the Hampden Bomber.

The Cold war was over - but Hay fever was still a bit of a bugger for old Jock...

Forget the A380 - This is how to get a big sticky into the Pprune forums...

When Harry said that he'd had a nubile young filly riding on his handlebars, the rest of the Squadron decided to check for evidence.

"Right, we've now got a metre each side. So two metres in total, centre-fed, makes a half-wave resonance at 75MHz. There's your standby marker antenna".

Since his sideburns were half an inch too long the SWO took Plt Off Cardigan-Fitz-Badlie to task.
