Caption competition
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Not a caption either - visited the Mosquito Aircraft Museum a coupe of weeks back - amazed how small the cross section of the Comet is/was - reminded me of Concorde rather than say a 737 -

Come on, people, get a grip! It's red white and blue, our national colours. And that pole thingy poking out of the top of the fuselage seems to have a crown on top of it.
Where's our national pride?

Again, not a caption but it reminds me of the time in Gan when we played the VOG card which trumped the TOG (or did they only have AOG?) card while we borrowed their battery.

"So what's with the red nose section?"
"Oh... that's the escape capsule"

"That's where the tail falls off em"

"The best thing they did with the Comet cockpit was to stick it on the Caravelle"
I got the idea from the joke about putting a tie on a turtle. You blow the hot air in, and catch the crew as they come out.

You know when Gen Office told me I was posted to RAFGan, I thought they said Afghan. Don't think we've got a base there, or ever likely to.
