When the red ring at the tail reaches the red nose the wings fall off in embarrassment as there was no winner to cap com.

Some thought that GEC still had some major
work ahead of them in getting the MSA kit
inside the fuselage instead of being towed
behind on the trailer.

Others were of the opinion that the databus
was the issue.

Very difficult to choose from a shortlist of ten highly admirable and witty entries, but the one that actually made me laugh most was from Jim's brother:

To provide extra strength, the front and rear sections of the

Jim's brother is hereby awarded the Coffmann Starter Trophy.
