Two seconds after they were engulfed in flames, Private Smithy realized that muzzle flash and last night's curry dinner were a bad combination.

Highly commended are:

An Tellach with:
While you're down there .... ?
Talking Radalt with:
When Trooper Blogs volunteered for the butt party he assumed it'd be like every other occasion....sit in a sangar down range well out of the RSM's way with a butty box, flask of coffee, the makings of a few roll-ups and the latest FHM, whilst occasionally waving a Fig11 on a stick in the air.
This time was totally different though.
But the winner is:
WE Branch Fantastic with:
"Don't worry mate, I'm a crack shot"
Well done all. Lots of laughs, but now over to you WEBF.

Good Grief!! This is the first time I've ever won any competition, except for a packet of some sort sweets I got for a Religous Education project when I was 14.....
I shall post a suitable pic shortly, when I work out how!!

The first test flight was only prevented buy a cone being sucked into the engine.

The US Navy's newest aircraft carrier, The USS William Jefferson (Bubba) Clinton
YF-279, unveiled prior to commissioning. In keeping with Clinton's support of the US Military, this vessel was selected by the Navy as its way of honoring the former President. A small spray of foam from the quart bottle of Schlitz Malt Liquor broken over the bow by Monica Lewinsky was seen as the vessel slid down the way.

OK, so SASLESS got himself and parking ticket. He will have to prove it was on the companies business before I agree to have it paid.

No, it doesnt count as a perfect landing, he caught the 1st wire.

The USN lost the interservice driving competition as they knocked over a cone in the reversing bay section.

Yes boys, I know all about inter-squadron rivalry and "borrowing" things, but I think this time you've taken it a bit far.

Yes, HMS Queen Elizabeth was small, and its airgroup was old, but it was still better than having Rafale.......

At Last, Gordon Brown had reduced the size of both the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force , to one that he could afford, at minimum rent from Uncle George.

Now that the budget cuts had really started to kick in, a way had been found to reduce fuel costs on training missions
