Remember Smithers, if you need us just make a trunk call.

Well done Smithers, you've pulled, just remember not to shoot the load off all at once.

Entries seem to have dried up so its time for judging. Its disappointing to note that no-one picked up that the US Cavalry's scheme to avenge General Custer involved an Indian Elephant. However....


Third Place....


Nutloose: Though the British secret service had Little Nellie on their secret weapons list, the US CIA just had to go one bigger..



Second Place:


Buster: And when he swings his trunk, the interrupter gear kicks in so I don't shoot it off!


Winner:


Valmorna: A thought from the Rear Gunner: ' That's OK for you bl00dy Mid-Uppers . . . '


(I must add that Valmorna's Rear Gunner gag came well in advance of Buster's almost identical effort).


Away you go Val!

First in, best dressed! Well done Val!

PS. If Val is still unable to post pics & hands on the baton, I'll let Nutty put one up as I did the one just before this...

No, Fantome, I haven't come across that particular one. Stoke is a foreign territory for me, as I live some 7 miles away. We toke reel proppa.

In Winter 1991, due to a misprint on his deployment instruction, Fotherington-Smythe found himself on 'Operation Granny' for the duration of the war.
