The results of the international jury are just in.....


The runner up is Coffman Starter with "....on a wing and a prayer..."


but the winner is


Nutloose with "Angels 15".




If anyone is interested, the photograph comes from RAF Waddington's Heritage Centre photo archive and is of a Mr Hucks who was indeed flying between the towers of Lincoln Cathedral just before the start of the Great War. The picture is, of course, from the time before there was an airfield at Waddington - perhaps Lincoln Cathedral should host the air show for 2015?


Over to you, Nutty.

The pilot had defected from North Korea, because he was worried that he was on the menu.

No, no...that's not what I meant by screw the Pooch.

It was a dog fight you say?

No, I don't there are any fire hydrants in Mig Alley.

Oh, I know what you mean. After every mission, we're all looking for a little Pussy!

Ok Rex. Next time you want to sort out the Neighbours cat, just chase him like all the other dogs!
