Caption competition

[jim's brother]

A young Pilot Officer Prune
Was posted to fly a balloon
Ascent was his fashion
But donuts his passion
Poor Prune's balloon sank far too soon

(Not part of caption: Danny, good to have you back on board.)

[andytug]

"Sir, when you said we'd be 'pushing the envelope' I was rather expecting something a bit more exciting...."

[NutLoose]

"And now what??"
"Oh, we shoot arrows at the target on the side of your balloon Sir"

[Danny42C]

"....There a' was, 'angin in me straps......"

[Traffic_Is_Er_Was]

Fans of low-level aviaton photography had plenty of time to catch the latest RAF equipment as it screamed down the valley.

[Traffic_Is_Er_Was]

"Golf Romeo Foxtrot, for terrain avoidance, turn left now, heading 290".

"Uummmm......"

[Pontius Navigator]

TIER, your previous was a real spluttering scream

[andytug]

"Sir, does this thing have GPWS?"

"Yes Bloggs. It's a pilot driven system. If you feel anything through your feet, pull the burner trigger immediately! "

[Danny42C]

"........O, I have loosed the surly bonds of earth......."

[jim's brother]

"It's for ab-initio training of aircrew for the RAF's proposed Airlander squadron. As you see, the acronym for the scheme is 'DONUTS' - Dirigible Operators and Navigators Under Training Squadron," an RAF spokesman said.

[SteveCox]

The remake of "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" wasn't going too well as getting the British Balloon and the European Balloon in the same shot was getting increasingly difficult as neither the British nor the European pilots could agree on the direction they should take.

[pasta]

I wouldn't mind this job if it wasn't for the paperwork; every time a child lets go of their party balloon we have to file an Airprox...

[c52]

Chief Aircraft Inventor: Sir, I present our prototype multi-role combat aircraft.

CEO: Hm, doesn't look very expensive. How are we going to fleece the customer? Or is that big bubble thing full of pricy software?

[Tashengurt]

There's no such thing as bad publicity.

[MPN11]

It made for a fairly boring career ... BFTS Cardington, AFS Cardington, OCU at Cardington, Squadron posting at Cardington ...

[SASless]

Aerial Observation Technology seemed to have come full circle.

[Big Pistons Forever]

I have two brothers, one is a piano player in a whore house, the other.....well lets just say he could do better for himself........

"I do not know what effect this will have on the enemy - but by Gad it frightens me !"

[Buster Hyman]

After the latest launch vehicle failure, SpaceX went right back to the drawing board...and I mean right back!!!

[WeeJeem]

Hoskins was well-known for his ballooning - normally, however, he waited until the landing.

[Penny Washers]

You are too high on the round-out, Hoskins.

. . . . Hoskins . . . . Hoskins? . . . . Can you hear me, Hoskins?

Come back, Hoskins!

[Danny42C]

"........I wandered lonely as a cloud......"

[Arm out the window]

Screw you all and your Brexit, I'm heading east to become the long-lost 100th LuftBalloon!

[Pontius Navigator]

The colocation of the static vent and exhaust valve gave false readings on VSI

[ShyTorque]

Seeing as I'm going on the night shift tonight, I'd better judge it now before Nutty and Buster get bored again and start wingeing . ;)

There's many great captions added here for this one. I took the photo at the Chatsworth House country fair last year. The intrepid RAF balloonist actually had some worrying problems getting airborne and bounced into and ran through the crowd a couple of times before finally "slipping the surly bonds" (and almost touching a tree in the process, causing some concern).

So, although this is an old quote it seems most appropriate:

"I do not know what effect this will have on the enemy - but by Gad it frightens me !"

Well done, Danny42C and welcome back, btw!

(P.S. Danny - is that your bra size? ;)).

[MPN11]

Yeah, Danny's back. :ok: ;)

[Danny42C]

ShyTorque and MPN11,

Shucks ! - never expected to win with that old chestnut - but I'm out of funny pics just now., sorry. Must declare Open House, I'm afraid.

Thanks, chaps....Danny.

[MPN11]

I still can't do the one I missed earlier ... I'm still away from home.

<Referee, what now?>

[ShyTorque]

In this event I declare "Arm out of the window" a close second with this:

Screw you all and your Brexit, I'm heading east to become the long-lost 100th LuftBalloon!

(With apologies to the lovely Nena)

Armootw, can you please oblige and entertain us with a suitable photo?

[Arm out the window]

Ah thanks Shy, and welcome back Danny. I'll try to oblige shortly.

Crikey, that was a task and a half trying to get the bloody photo on the page, but I believe I've cracked it now ... onward and upward, judging in a couple of days. :ok:

[Buster Hyman]

Well, actually, there's a very funny story about this....

[Buster Hyman]

Nah, it's not real. It;s just a prop.

[Buster Hyman]

So, we approached this balloon that had strayed into restricted airspace when bugger me, the pilot cocks his legs & we were done for!

[Buster Hyman]

As you can see, the Lav took a direct hit & we were lucky to get out alive!

[PingDit]

"God knows why they've sent me here to guard this heli-aeroplany thing, who's gonna nick it?"

[Hydromet]

When they said I'd be flying on the edge, I didn't think they meant I'd be landing there too..

[Buster Hyman]

I shook the can, opened it and then...(O)sprey everywhere!

[Stanwell]

Guy walks into the hardware shop...
"About this parrot, sorry, osprey....."
(It's not dead, it's just resting, sir.)

[Cows getting bigger]

I told you they should have sent us Red Bull.

[ShyTorque]

"Yes, that's oil running down her left leg but there's something far worse running down mine!"

[Hempy]

"Put that cigarette out! Can't you smell gas?"

"Don't you yell at me, Mr Warrick!"

[Buster Hyman]

I said Crop rotation you dolt!

[Danny42C]

"Let os pray !"

[Traffic_Is_Er_Was]

This is my AV-22. It's the Almost Vertical model.

[Traffic_Is_Er_Was]

Any landing you walk away from....:ok:

[Traffic_Is_Er_Was]

Ssshh...don't tell anyone I knocked the ladder over.

[JAVELINBOY]

Hank gave some thought to how he would explain the prang whilst he had been crop dusting his fathers corn crop

[Traffic_Is_Er_Was]

Pilot?...Me?... Nah, I can't fly that. They just let me do the landings.

[Wander00]

Hoskins, it's that round out again..........

[Traffic_Is_Er_Was]

Following a catastrophic in-flight toilet failure, this marine was lucky to get out alive. Others were not so fortunate.

[racedo]

Engineering says it will buff out

[Buster Hyman]

Note: TFR needs adjusting.

[SASless]

So you see we encountered a bit of un-even excessive gravity and well....you know the rest of the story!

[brokenlink]

When I said ditch the landing I meant go around again idiot!

[c52]

"Health and safety has NOT gone mad. It was H&S that decreed the whole country should have strips of hay bales laid out every time one of these takes to the air."

[NutLoose]

"I always have a smoke after I f*ck something"

[NutLoose]

"So does it qualify as a sloping ground landing?"

[NutLoose]

"It's the Jolly Green Giants corn and he gets pissed at any wannabee helicopter encroaching his patch"

[Buster Hyman]

"...Ahh feel the need...the need for a lawyer..."

[treadigraph]

"Ah, so that's why it's called a tilt rotor!"

[WeeJeem]

Dunno, Sir. Everything was fine until the wheels left the ground.

[racedo]

The Daily Mail report
"Hero saves 9 in aircarsh, dog only fatality"

or wait Pilot was Polish

"Pole kills family pet"

[Danny42C]

"You need both engines running, Hoskins, to achieve vertical take-off !"

[Dan Gerous]

Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up smoking and drinking. Anyone got a bag and some glue?

[Buster Hyman]

I asked for a light not friendly fire!

[Wander00]

But you cannot see the tip lights in daylight

[NutLoose]

[Pontius Navigator]

Nutty, splutter splutter :)

[Chef Bruz]

[Big Pistons Forever]

[Big Pistons Forever]

Mission Accomplished !

[Big Pistons Forever]

Maybe now they will send me back to flying a desk.......just like I asked for

[Big Pistons Forever]

4 more and I will be an enemy ace !

[airborne_artist]

"When I said bank Hoskins, I mean't ..."

[Buster Hyman]

No, honestly Sarge, coming down in a Poppy field was just a coincidence...

[andytug]

"When I said Bale Out, Hoskins, I meant for the guys in the back to jump!"

[Arm out the window]

Judging time .... (drum roll)....

Heaps of good 'uns, but after much deliberation the judges' picks are:

In 3rd place, Dan Gerous with "Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up smoking and drinking. Anyone got a bag and some glue?"


2nd - Danny42C with:"Let os pray !"

But I can't go past Nutloose with:"I always have a smoke after I f*ck something"

All yours Nutty!

[squeaker]

And that, Corporal, is why it's not clever to light your cigarette with your assault rifle..

CapCom - two options for your Temporary Judge, as two very different themes emerged. Those celebrating Gay Pride something, and those that were actually Aviation-related. Gosh, this is harder than I expected [which is not a Caption, but could have been a winner!] :)

From the Gay category, I chose ….

Runner Up = andytug: Bloggs, that is not what I meant by 'set up camp'
Gay Flight Winner = Tashengurt: Biggles was stuck on the bank just waiting for Ginger to pull him off.
................
And from the Aviation Category I chose …

Runner Up = Arm out of the window: You've heard of the fleet air arm, well we're the slow air arm.
Aviation Flight Winner = JAVELINBOY: Well here we are again up **** creek without a paddle
...............

But the winner of the nice warm flying overall with matching helmet, goggles and one glove is ….
