Sigh....I guess I will have to do the job myself. Mummy was right, you just can't get good help these days.

Re the rules: Silly me for thinking posts in the Military section of an aviation forum should have some connection to either the Military or airplanes ......

BTW IMHO the best picture recently submitted was the picture of the Harrier in the creek.

The first Caterham F1 pit crew were not a great success.

But under Buster's updated rules, imprisonment in the Tower makes one ineligible to win.
He's on day release I believe...hence all the entries.

Silly us for thinking Kim Jong Un was the leader of North Korea's Military. Having said that, this has always been a fun thread, it doesn't need to be like other threads that can sometimes degenerate into petty squabbles. Feel free to place a riposte to my barb above, but lets draw a line in the sand after that eh?

Besides, I went back to AA's opening post & the rules that I thought were there, are not there. So, it's a free-for-all people!

"Got your pics, snapper? Right ho, Driver Windsor, you can stand easy now. We'll get a colonial to do it if it happens for real!"


True story: I met a French-Canadian at a Remembrance Day do two years ago. He said he had come across Driver Windsor struggling with a flat tyre during the war, and changed it for her. She addressed him throughout in French, and insisted on standing whilst he did the work as he was of superior rank (Corporal).

"Is this what the padre meant when he said one should kneel before one's Maker, Sergeant?"

"Well, if you get that nut tightened up before Lights Out, it WILL be the making of you, Miss Windsor, Ma'am."

It is pleasing to note that in addition to sharing the Londoner's experience of the Blitz, the Royal Family strictly observed TGWU union rules; one person doing the work, three standing around watching.

Why is this thing called a brace, I thought that meant a pair of pheasants.
