OK, the results are in, and.......

Runner-up, c52 with "Of course it'll do Mach 3 -- (sotto voce) with you in it. Just point the nose down."

As a history buff, I did particularly like Nutloose's "Is it true Glorious Leader, General Dunkan Sondy Sun says missiles are the way of future?"

However he then topped it with "No glorious Leader, when I said defect, I meant the aircraft is erm not serviceable.

Congratulations Nutloose and the CST is in the post.....

I dunno...it was greyish...had a yellow nose...umm...OH! It had a black cross on the fuselage & a Swastika on the tail.
Well, that might narrow it down lad. Anything else?
It was shooting at me!
Right-o then...
