Caption Competition Mk III

[Kiltrash]

Kelly Johnson devised this? No one knows for what spec yet, think it was in his Magic Mushroom days in San Francisco ....

[Kiltrash]

Very good Brains, but what is it??
Aaahh it's Thunderbird 1 and 2 flown by Mr Virgil and Mr Scott , Mr Tracy, be in the rescue business soon.

[Kiltrash]

Fed up with the losses over Vietnam, Air Force chiefs dictate the fighters stay close to the Bombers.....well it worked in WW2 Didn't it??

[Kiltrash]

Alternate bomb release mechanism

[Buster Hyman]

Err, can you guys read my nose art?
Yep...
Do you know Enola is Alone backwards...geddit?
Oh, sorry. It was the second word that caught our attention...

[Kiltrash]

The Mach Loop snappers were very surprised with what came trough the valley next

[Kiltrash]

As Doctor Jones escaped from Berlin with his father, they looked for the Parasite Fighters...

[Ascend Charlie]

Stryker leads the formation towards Macho Grande, but he never got over Macho Grande.

[ORAC]

Leading so far, Nutloose with “Can you hear thunder?”

[Ninthace]

I think we are going to need a wider runway

[Ninthace]

When I suggested using differential thrust to steer, I had something less complicated in mind.

[Kiltrash]

When the Mayor of Hiroshima looked up he did not believe what he saw...

[Kiltrash]

As Fighters did not have the range to Escort the Bombers all the way to Tokyo, airborne Aircraft Carriers were a necessity

[Kiltrash]

Proof of concept for what will become the B-36 Peacemaker has a successful first flight.

[Kiltrash]

Well when the Mig pilots see this they die laughing....saves all this messing about with bullets

[Kiltrash]

For Ultra Lomg Haul, the crew rest areas could do with a makeover

[Kiltrash]

Well no, on the ends of the wings are the Nuclear Reactors, well till we can produce lighter Lead Shielding...

[Kiltrash]

Dual take off from Heathrow to New York?... ha nothing new in Aviation

[Buster Hyman]

Twin Mustang? Pffft! Meet the Super Triple Thunder my friend!

[Buster Hyman]

The USAF never did quite get Mallorys Big Wing!

[Dan Gerous]

Can we use your bog?

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune.org-vbulletin/850x565/image_ea05debd162b973655b00da0d3cb82c4a60069cb.jpeg

[MPN11]

Hoskins' weight created lateral trim issues.

[Buster Hyman]

Now remember, it's just like tipping the V1 back in dubya dubya too Hank!

[Wensleydale]

...and so the concept of the Shackleton Mk3 was born.

[Chu Chu]

Very impressive, Hoskins. But when I said you were the ideal candidate to test a new parasite fighter, I was referring to worming pills.

[Buster Hyman]

Well, that's one way to beat the slots at Heathrow!

[treadigraph]

[awed hushed voice]And so a never-before seen glimpse of young B-29s being taught to fly by a proud parent [/awed hushed voice]

[Ninthace]

The idea is we tip tow up behind the enemy while he not looking then let him have it.
(DuckDuckGo is my friend)

[Kiltrash]

The problem came when setting Zero hour for the attack, 06.00 Mountain Time, Pacific Time or Central Time when the pilots were all in different Zones...

[Kiltrash]

At Amarc the surplus Fighters were used as auxiliary Tip Tanks. ...Greta would be impressed

[Kiltrash]

That new bio fuel has strange regeneration properties, yes in combat if you lose 6 foot of wing, it just grows back...

[Ninthace]

It may look easy in theory but it is Ficon difficult in practice.

[Buster Hyman]

Yep, it’s one of ours Hank.
Great. I can’t wait for someone to invent IFF!

[MPN11]

The proposal to call them Flankers was rejected out of hand.

[Ninthace]

That is not thunder you hear, it is Tom Toms.

[treadigraph]

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune.org-vbulletin/850x565/image_ea05debd162b973655b00da0d3cb82c4a60069cb.jpeg

[treadigraph]

It's great, but I really think JATO would really work better with small jets in pods under the wings...

[Ninthace]

It's great, but I really think JATO would really work better with small jets in pods under the wings... Foul! #6378 :=
But yours is better.

[NutLoose]

I might seem a lash up but it was the only way to keep our nav on the correct course.

[Kiltrash]

Camera Ship. ...Better check your fire bottles

[Kiltrash]

Whatdoyoumean they have invented In Flight Refuelling. ...What the **** have we been doing for the last 5 years....
April Fool...

[Kiltrash]

Gonna need a wider hanger, Ask the Brits if we can have the Brabazon

[Kiltrash]

Passing over Trumps house, Open the Chemtrail valve.

[Kiltrash]

Well the Trident had 5 engines but in America only bigger and better

[Wensleydale]

We've already had Enola Gay - this is Enola Drag Race!

[Chu Chu]

Historic fighter jet rescued from tip.

[Kiltrash]

Right we gotta her up to 87.99 MPH, What happens next Doc??
We don't need no Runways where we're going...

[Kiltrash]

Attenborough again
... and the Mother ship gently guides her two offspring on the correct path in life....
But don't ask me to choose which is my favourite. ..

[622]

Superglue.....will stick anything!

[Kiltrash]

...and additional benefit is it stops the children ( Pilots ) squabbling ...turn the intercom up, hear what there saying
" Are we there yet"
" I need wee wee "
Turn it back down please

[Ninthace]

Fun with Magnets, Deluxe Edition
Get it wrong and two of them end up flying backwards

[Chu Chu]

Nuclear (capable) family.

[Chu Chu]

Can we call it a triplane?

Not sure. But either way it's a strange Fokker.

[Traffic_Is_Er_Was]

Early versions of the trial auxiliary turbo jets fitted to B-29's proved so unreliable that they required their own ride along engineer.

[Traffic_Is_Er_Was]

Close formation? Ha! Let's see those f*cking Blue Angels beat this!

[Ninthace]

Is that a probe in your wingtip or are you just pleased to see me?

[Chu Chu]

The F-84's poor performance leads to experiments with Radial Assisted Take Off.

[andytug]

"We're gonna win that formation flying prize or die tryin'....."

[ORAC]

OK, results.

3rd place - Buster Hyman “Ok, Tom…action! Get to the other F-84!”

2nd place - Nutloose - “Can you hear thunder?”

1st place - Ninthace - “When I suggested using differential thrust to steer, I had something less complicated in mind.”

All yours….

[Ninthace]

Oh heck. Thanks. Give me a few minutes.

[Ninthace]

I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. Hope it has not been done before

[MPN11]

“Skipper, there’s got to be a better way of getting water samples …”

[622]

We are gonna need a bigger boat!

[622]

I was hoping anti submarine missions would involve a little more flying!

[622]

Nav to Pilot "Apparantley that woman you were chatting up on shore leave was the Captains wife!"

[cynicalint]

The pilot was hung out to dry after querying the captains leadership.

[NutLoose]

Well you managed to trap the fifth wire...
We don't have a fifth wire?
Precisely....

[NutLoose]

Well, trapping the last wire normally means a hats off, no tea or biscuits chat with the XO, God knows what he will have in store for you...

[NutLoose]

Well you could try the airspeed was misreading due to water in the pitot system..

[MPN11]

"Seeking Seamounts" ... the early days.

[Chu Chu]

Difficult to fathom.

[NutLoose]

This is not what they mean by VTOL and no matter how often you try, it never will be.

[NutLoose]

I could have sworn the deck was 500 metres not feet..

[Kiltrash]

Fed up with Sharkys attitude, Mogwi descides to hang him out to dry

[Kiltrash]

Well Mav, you got your fly -by of the tower, Helped by Martin Baker

[Kiltrash]

Remind me again, was this a Cat or a Trap??

[Kiltrash]

See what happens when you allow a mere engineer to do a full power run up...

[Kiltrash]

Normally we throw the tiddlers back, said the F-4 Pilot...

[NutLoose]

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune.org-vbulletin/417x640/image_17b64ad0a25fc83ddee5183b9dca39bb37ca5c31.jpeg

[NutLoose]

Remind me again, was this a Cat or a Trap??

definitely a cat being a Panther..

[Kiltrash]

...and this was why the USN stopped cross decking from Nimitz to Invincible

[NutLoose]

Ok I’ve got a lock on, we’ll get that bluddy sub yet, it’ll teach them to stooge around in the South China Sea near a US task force

[MPN11]

Recovering the aircraft would be difficult, as Hoskins had left the windows open.

[MPN11]

"OK, so the hook's engaged. Now what, Chief?"

[Kiltrash]

RIO....Skip, Radar shows heavy rain 5 feet ahead...

[Kiltrash]

RIO....Skip, according to these readings there a submarine directly ahead....

[Kiltrash]

RIO...Skip..Skip...Skip?? What did you say??.must get these headphones fixed..last I heard was **** meeeee

[Kiltrash]

Hoskins the Tractor driver confused his left with his right signals while towing the aircraft to its designated parking spot...hopes the tow bar is secure.... ( Glug Glug..Glug )

[ORAC]

Typical Alert - all rush, rush, rush, then they keep you hanging about for hours….

[Ascend Charlie]

You shoulda seen the one that got away...

[ORAC]

Unusual Attitude training under the hood was a lot more difficult in the days before carrier based simulators became available….

[Chu Chu]

Just to be clear, when I said those old F-9s would make good boat anchors, I didn't mean it literally.

[NutLoose]

Bloody pilots, they’ll do anything to dip their wick.

[treadigraph]

You said she was a bit of a Cougar but this isn't what I expected...

No, what I said is she's an old hooker...

[Wensleydale]

"DON'T WIND!!!!"

[Big Pistons Forever]

Well I guess we will put that arrested landing in the "better late than never" column

[Big Pistons Forever]

I never realized what they meant by the "drop down menu" in the catapult launch cab.....

[Big Pistons Forever]

When I says WHOA, I mean WHOA !

[Big Pistons Forever]

It's the reverse "Titanic movie" move....

[Big Pistons Forever]

Umm I guess I should have believed the Chief Engineer when he said "Jim she canna nay doo it !"

[Kiltrash]

Captain to Admiral....Look sir what the cat dragged in, can we keep it please..

[Kiltrash]

As they approached San Diego, The Nav Officer requested help from the Air Wing to get the ship alongside.

[Kiltrash]

Sir, Dunno where Captain Hoskins went but we have searched the ship three times fully but can't locate him...
Very good put his name on the the board as the current ' Hide and Seek ' Champion

[Longhitter]

Nah, doesn't look good as a Christmas decoration.

[CAEBr]

Yes, as a post hook change proof load test it works, but you haven't really thought through the follow up actions have you ?

[Kiltrash]

...and while your down there we will lower a pot of paint and can you touch up the rust spots. Never let a maintainance opportunity go to waste...

[Kiltrash]

Normally when along side we just crane the replacement aircraft on board....but it's the operators day off...

[Kiltrash]

Phew, that was close Captains Emergency Stop went better than expected, however only one teensey weensey problem....

[Buster Hyman]

SWEET GEEZUZZ! That's cold!
Roger. Take us further South XO!

[Buster Hyman]

Skipper. Are you sure nap of the ocean is a feasible tactic?

[Buster Hyman]

"Call the Ball"??? Mate, they're in my friggin throat! Now someone cut me out of this harness!

[Buster Hyman]

Thank Gawd we're not on that Planet in Interstellar!

[Dan Gerous]

Couldn't you have just used a fishing rod?

[Traffic_Is_Er_Was]

USN brass "Fast Jet is best" mindset meant that the introduction of Dunking Sonar required some unfortunate compromises.

[Traffic_Is_Er_Was]

Wow! Only a 7.5 from the Hungarian judge. He is certainly hard to please.

[Chu Chu]

And there I was with a windscreen full of North Atlantic and nothing on the clock but the maker's name.

[ORAC]

“What are we trying to catch?”

[Dan Gerous]

I think we should keep the dipping SONAR on the rotary fleet.

[Chu Chu]

After an F11 shoots itself down, the Navy adopts new weapons testing procedures.

[NutLoose]

I don’t think this is what he had in mind when he said sling yer hook..

[NutLoose]

Ohhh NOW you decide to try and steer..

[NutLoose]

This Panther ain’t pink and you haven’t got a Clouseau..

[Stockportcounty]

They’re asking “do we need ground power?”

[Stockportcounty]

Right laddie. when they said “angled nose in”

[MPN11]

Hoskins acquired another nickname to add to his long list ... "Captain Hook".

[Asturias56]

"Pull up! Pull up!!"

[Kiltrash]

Pilot to Nav Well i still think this is a Helicopter Carrier...but NOOO you insisted your navigation skills are spot on..

[Kiltrash]

Crew are gonna need a longer ladder to get into the cockpit...
Well that's additional work said Bae... $10m pleas

[Kiltrash]

Fortunately the World Champion ' Hook the Duck " had been drafted 6 months ago...

[Kiltrash]

Normally we wait till the aircraft are too badly shot up before we dump it over the side....But as it was Hoskins aircraft might as well cut out the middle man.

[Kiltrash]

USS Intrepid rely on Civil Contractors J. Hoskins and Son's to move their display Aircraft round the flight deck. Stocktaking later had a unaccounted stock loss...

[MPN11]

“OK, this isn’t working. Let’s wait until someone invents the Sea Harrier”

* Other VSTOL air platforms may also exist

[Big Pistons Forever]

Heh, Heh, Heh, Hey Joe lets watch the new guy re-spot 979

[Big Pistons Forever]

Whadda ya mean you can't find 979, it was on the deck an hour ago !

[SimonPaddo]

Submarine bait.

[Kiltrash]

The Admiral ( of Gerald Ford ) challenged the Commodore ( Of QNLZ ) to a game of conkers

[Kiltrash]

For once we can't blame the Scousers when we moored in Liverpool

[Kiltrash]

Fed up with the food served in the galley, the crew show the Chef what happens to metal pushed into the South China Sea...

[Chu Chu]

Ordering Hoskins to swing the compass may have been a mistake.

[fitliker]

When playing that just the tip to get it wet game , you should be wearing a full immersion suit as some “seas” are very dangerous .

[MPN11]

For Lt (JG) Hoskins, being suspended from training took on a different perspective.

[NutLoose]

Your grounded son, and thanks to you so it the whole ship.

[ORAC]

trials using the air wing as a stabiliser system proved effective - but only up to Sea State 1…..

[ShyTorque]

“Dunno…I just put Australia in the satnav and this happened!”

[ShyTorque]

“When I sign the aircraft back in, in case I forget, just remind me to snag the brakes will you?”

[Chu Chu]

Yes, I did tell Hoskins it had a water injection capability. Why do you ask?

[treadigraph]

Hoskins, I know the aircraft has a reputation as a bit of a Friday afternoon rogue but don't you think that keel hauling it is going a bit far?

[Kiltrash]

Checking the Pilots HR File ot appears he is the Man from Atlantis

[Kiltrash]

First attempt at tethered flight

[Kiltrash]

Now this is gonna take more that one page of A4 to explain what happened

[622]

"Hoskins....that is not how you do a compressor wash!"

[Ninthace]

Not a caption.

I will call this one this afternoon Zulu time.

[Kiltrash]

Well in the days of yore each sailing ship had a figurehead on the prow, but as wood was not allowed a alternate was needed...

[Kiltrash]

Well no this is meant to stop the rats getting onboard

[Kiltrash]

Well that proves only one piece of wire is strong enough to support the weight of the aircraft, so string 'em up in the Hanger. There sorted the storage problem, get more planes on the Carrier...

[Ninthace]

The judges have convened - no more entries please

[Ninthace]

The picture was actually an early Attenborough and is the only known picture in existence of the pupal stage of the F4. The mothers are extremely protective and this picture was obtained at no small personal risk.

And so to the the honours and awards.

Bronze goes to:
Big Pistons Forever When I says WHOA, I mean WHOA !

Sliver goes to:
Kiltrash: Phew, that was close Captains Emergency Stop went better than expected, however only one teensey weensey problem....

Gold Medal, cue national anthem and flag:
Traffic_Is_Er_Was: Wow! Only a 7.5 from the Hungarian judge. He is certainly hard to please.

Congratulations Sir, Madam or appropriate honorific, the CST will be on its way as soon as it has been winched on board and dried off.

[NutLoose]

Congratulations all... Worthy winners one and all :ok:

I made a shortlist and read them out to the final adjudicator and used the grinometer. to gauge the winner. In this case, Gold actually got a small snort which is high praise indeed. Mind you, what she knows about aviation could be written on the back of a stamp and still leave room for the Lord's Prayer in 18pt font!
