It wasn't the first time the hangar at Akrotiri had been used to host a disco for visiting tourists, but it was probably the last.

But Chief, the muppets wanted to play hangar pilots and I thought it would be nice to let them fly above cloud..



Bloggs, when I said wash the aircraft, I meant outside.



What a hangar party last night, remember the bubbly...

Other people chuck a sheet over the windows when they want to play IFR Hangar Pilots, but no, Bloggs had to go one better.

-or-

It's a good prank with a long pedigree, but you need to calculate how much reagent to use before you dope the toilets.

Instead of sending the surplus aircraft to the desert for moth-balling, it was decided to bubble wrap them instead.

Doesn't it go "Duhn-duhn tadadada?"

Sorry, that's exhausted my entire musical knowledge

When the message for Pilot Officer Pprune to PHONE the hangar became corrupted, all hell broke loose.......

Well - the nav kit says we're very close to the airfield, but we're still India Mike - I suggest a go around captain!

Rupert, the M.o.D beancounter, had a truly wizard idea to save money. Instead of squandering it on all that nasty and expensive fuel and flying stuff--all IFR training would now become ground based.

The airfield a total disaster with nobody left alive, bloggs waited, ticking off the minutes and watching in horror as the foam crept silently under the hangar door...




A new compo! I just saw the news about my much deserved win on the previous comp. This is great though, it's like the perfect marriage, you know, when you offer to do something butyou don't have to follow through...

"Honey, how would you like you mother to stay for a week over Easter?"

"Oh that's so sweeeeeet of you dear, but she'll be on a cruise. What a lovely thought"

...you know: you don't have to follow through, but you still get the points
