Thanks for the late entries. For a moment there I thought I'd killed the thread
Mentions in dispatches go to...
Conan The Librarian for "Over a liquid lunch, the Farnborough boffins became convinced that they could create ground based St Elmos fire in the car park."
Incipient Sinner for "Since his sideburns were half an inch too long the SWO took Plt Off Cardigan-Fitz-Badlie to task."
Speedpig for "At the Colditz reunion, the former guards enjoyed demonstrating how they had persuaded Flt. Lt. S.N. Ide-Lil**** to pass on the details of the escape plan."
The runner up is...
Kolibear for "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."
And the winner is...
Darth Nigel for "Representatives of the Ministry of Defence scorned the idea that they might be out-of-touch with the needs of the modern air force."
over to you
btw, if anyone wondered, the picture was Ted from The Handlebar Club

We are down to page two again... Anyone know Darths' whereabouts? If he is on detachmant somewhere obscure or unpleasant, is there a back up plan?

Well, I'd like to thank me Mum, me long-suffering wife, our cats (except Tiddles for obvious reasons...)
And now, on with the show.

All agreed that ZG was a bit of a dog to fly

The fitters had made a great job of the comedy nose but hadn't quite got the ears right yet

"Look Bloggs, it might say "EC135" in your shiny new ATPL(H) but for the umpteenth time I am not going to let you try to hover this baby"
"do you really think we should've contracted out the new noses to the same people who build SSNs?"

"No! it's MY turn now. You've already scraped the bottom off."

If they had another, they could paint them both tan with a red nose. It'd be a ...matched... colour scheme

"Note the arrowslits on the side. This was the height of military technology in the thirteenth centuary"
===
At last: A cockpit large enough for Squdron Leader Higginthorpe's legendary appendage
===
The US Air Force finally came up with an economical method of recycling those excess WWII era sheets of plywood
===
The early concorde prototype had some limitations when the nose was raised to the supersonic flight position
===
The squadron looked on, convulsing in mirth. What a merry jape this was. Bets were still being taken on how long it would take the crew to find the door.
===
The new canard wing on the 737 was not a great commercial success.
===
"This is a lot of fun" said LAC Arthur Hegginbotham as he searched out a suitable mounting point for his home made floats.
===
As Ricky the Boeing engineer considered his company's plan to discontinue the eyebrow windows, he couldn't help but think how wrong it was for them to tamper with a graceful and proven design like that.
===
It seems so obvious in hindsight that combining the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy could only end in tears.

The recruiting drive was designed to attract female recruits, but for some mysterious reason seemed to also attract a fair share of darts players.
===
The photographer had managed to breath new life into that old gag of making a V above someone's head with a couple of fingers.
===
The new airborne tankers required constant attention be paid to the elevator trim.
===
Mabel thought that black bit on the front looked good, but was it a waste of space or what?
===
The initial tests of the Virgin Sleeper Seats (tm) were not a great success.
===
It was embarassing, but secretly, the new recruits welcomed the rubber nose guard.
===
Inflatable decoys had been around since before D-Day, but you still had to keep an eye on the pressure gauge during deployment.
===
Even for the weekly beer run, successfully taxiing this aircraft was a prerequisite to being given the keys to the squadron's 1963 Cadilac Coupe deVille.
===
Tommy Cooper's duck trick had failed again, this time with alarming consequenses.
