Well they left half of it, so I'm quite confident we're NOT in Nigeria!

Some great captions, Mrs P has been wondering what all the laughing is about; this is going to be a hard one to call.

Final verdict, and the reveal of where in Europe this ground-breaking single-engine airliner is being tested, tomorrow evening.

There's an Iberia A340 at Bordeaux with the same treatment - and if you look in Streetview, its fuselage has been sliced as well.

When initiating breakaway thrust Hoskins, next time go a little easier on the left throttle.

Judging time once again. In case anyone's interested (which I rather doubt), the aircraft was spotted at Calgliari (CAG). In a further mysterious twist, at some point during the last 24 hours it has disappeared without trace...

I'm afraid there's insufficient space to acknowledge all the captions that had me sniggering, but my personal highlights included:

Danny42C winning a self-piloted trip to the Bermuda Triangle:
"They'll be back for the rest tomorrow night !"

Buster Hyman winning a flight on the redeye to Boston:
"Irans new stealth jetliner unveiled."

Pontius Navigator winning a free standby flight on United Airlines:
"The build was going well, only another 480 issues from buildyourowna330.co.uk"

Dan Gerous winning a one-way trip to Area 51:
"Say again tower, we were cut off."

The CFS Trophy goes to Andytug with:
"United apologises, but the front end and left wing of the aircraft was required to fly a standby crew to another location."

Andy, you have control...

Some spaghetti connoisseurs will go to ridiculous lengths to ensure that their spaghetti is delivered in its natural uncut 'straight off the tree' form.

Captain. I know you don't like to associate with our Economy passengers, but this is getting out of hand!
