And so, here we are at the conclusion of another round. Forgive me if I am late posting the results, but the computer was playing up.

A good selection of entries from the glass cockpit brigade and a special mention for the emissary for steam cockpits in the form of BEagle, who has reminded us all of the joys of modern call centres in South Asia.


Third place, goes to Adr for

It all worked fine until we installed The Sims 2: Nightlife and iTunes to help us pass the time.
Second place almost went to Sunfish, but was beaten at the post, by ACW599 with

"Captain, it's the CSD here. I can't get that guy in 13B to stop using his mobile -- do you want to come and speak to him?"
And this weeks supreme Champions award goes to Lafyar Cokov with a late but instantly forgettable

"Warning Fatal Execution Error

You have attempted to fly into a mountain, Windows has prevented you from doing this and has shut down your system to protect your hardware. etc etc etc"

Well done all. Now - Eyes down for a full House....

The new stealth coating is very, very good. If we'd not left the cockpit and nose untreated, the test pilot wouldn't even have found the aircraft.

Initial trials of the new directed-energy weapons system appeared to indicate that it displayed considerable potential. However, it was evident that some aspects of the aiming system would require further development.

Well, the Kill-o-Zap gun works, all we have to do now is to stop it putting the attacking aircraft on its back.

When the advert said "1/4 share in a Cessna", Bloggs had assumed the other three quarters would still be attached.
