Prune learned two lessons from putting up his paper suggesting a rapidly deployable unit to erase erroneous runway and apron markings. 1. Only send spoofs to people with a sense of humour. 2. After putting up a spoof, don't go on leave long enough for the project to become unstoppable in your absence.

As soon as the Test Pilot saw the big, black, shiny nose, he knew that the aircraft would be a dog.

No need: After all, you have a picture that can sniff out its own winning entry.

===

A compromise was in order once the Disney empire finally came to the conclusion that the Mickey Mouse conversion was both financially unsupportable and aerodynamically unfeasible.

===

The design had an obvious flaw. One teeny ladder would never be enough for all those extra passenger seats.

===

The starting gates for this year's Grand National was contraversial to say the least.

===

The transformer was stuck half way. No longer a 707, but not yet Thundergod, Chief Warlord of the Universe

===

Wrong aircraft and the men underneath were so embarassed. They had misread the paperwork and brought the trick ears, not the matching trick noses.

===

The Mother in Law section had been added on as an afterthought. Perhaps as a consequence, complaints were still being received regarding the uncomfortable narrowness of the seat.

Having stuck 16 Porta-loos together, the sappers were wondering if the septic tank really was big enough.

It was tough logistically but they managed to get the whole of the current Army in 1 photograph.

The new SA80 A3 was reputed to be more reliable than its predecessor and was already battle proven.

Tie breaker:

Everyone liked the new uniforms, the Army were used to their green and the Navy just loved their fetching pink.

Main pic:

The squad's advance was stymied after some rotter stole the rest of the picture

Tie-breaker:

"Make do and mend" was good wartime advice, but Cassandra was darned if she was going to get to work with the rubber solution on one of Lionel's used prophylactics...

Bert "Quick lads, I need to find my wardrobe"

Second pic
..... too late...
Doris was wondering what on earth Bert would be doing with these particular items in his wardrobe.


Now, I know I'm going to win this, but regrettably I have to make a very nasty trip and will be away for 10 days.
Should my entry be selected as the very, very best, I would like to nominate Conan the Librarian to assume my mantle (he'll find it in Bert's wardrobe) and select the next pic (stitch up)

#1: Donald Rumsfeld angrily denied allegations that the US was having trouble meeting manpower and equipment goals in Iraq.

#2: "You've been messing around with that one-legged bint again, haven't you?"

Pic 1: Although greatly admired around the world, some felt BBMF were taking things too far with their autentic period CCS.

Pic 2: With the weekend fast approaching, Lt Bloggs wondered where "Loretta" should wear "her" new RN logo badge.
