OK, the time has come. . .

Good set of entries troops.

3rd - cargosales

"Didn't the tower tell us to do a left hand circuit?"

So Milt, accolades to you all round. You're in the chair at the bar later. Were all looking forward to your picture.



For myself, my captions would have been:

"Being a QFI at this field is slowly driving me round the bend."

"The crosswind here is horrendous!"

Good game. Good game.

I told you that there was a British weapons incompatability with the new swing-role a/c. Where the hell are we going to stick these 27mm rounds now?

[Gainesy]

"Why don't we just use the Patelicopter?"

[airborne_artist]

"When I said that the pilot didn't have enough bottle I didn't mean it literally..."

"First attempts at AAR were sponsored by the brewers of Kingfisher beer."

[ACW599]

"I'm not sure we've got this right, chaps. Chiefy told me that SNEB stood for 'Snub-Nosed Empty Bottle' but these look full to me".

"so, the enemy infantry were over there to the West, I came in low from the South avoiding the AAA by the main bridge just there,.........damnit man haven't we got any salt or pepper shakers"

[ACW599]

"Ops have just been on the phone. They can't get a slot at Holbeach, and Donna Nook is weathered out. So it's going to have to be the Sainsbury's bottle bank or nothing."

[Slow Roll]

Stringent new drinking laws spelt an end for the "pie and a pint" in-flight favourite

During OCU this particular intake was so weak a practical demonstration of 'Ten Green Bottles' song was required.

After you have been here for as long as we have and you have consumed this much beer then even baggage pods look sexy....Cpl Scratcher here is demonstrating the approved position.
