"If you snag this aircraft just once more, Herr Leutnant, I swear" ......

Bureaucrat: "We don't know who's got your left wing, but you've got someone else's right wing stuck on your axle. If you're going to mess around with your equipment like this, please make sure you update the engineering records, or there'll be hell to pay when the auditors come."

[Danny42C]

"Vy is it, when Leutnant von Pinkelhaus here brings home a nice sea bass speared on his prop, all you can do is to wipe a wing off in the water ?"

[MPN11]

"OK, so you don't like the Dreidecker. Slip me 10,000 and I'll get you a Fokker D VII."

[Dan Gerous]

With all zeese machine guns Baron, perhaps ve should call it a Spitzfire.

Honourable mentions to Javelinboy with:

When you said you would drop me off at the Mess I rather thought you would be using the Mercedes

Sir, there seems to be a problem. We have a Canadian pilot circling the airfield with an American Beagle on his Kennel, plus some Australians with a machine gun...it might be prudent to sit this one out!

but Traffic is er Was has produced some belters, of which my favourite (and winner of the CST) is:
