Thanks all,some great suggestions. I'll give it 24hrs or so and then start digging all the flies out of the teeth. The World Cup might not be coming home but the CST will be on its way.

I trust this will be the method of CST handover:

NOT A CAPTION
SATCOS WHIPPING BOY (Me too !) (#49157).
Well, we have our Bird in a Biplane - why not a Bird on a biplane as well ? (sure she's every bit as charming).

At Lydd HM Border Force get all exited at having a aircraft land on the airfield and decide to give it a good going over looking for illegal immigrants

or

Later Mavis reported to the family that these new VR headsets in First Class instead of windows really did make it look like you were flying through the air but she wished they could do something about the artificial wind blast

The pilot's little step-stool was a post-WW2 enhancement.

While the pilot readies to pull the handle, a ground crewman stands by to check that the emergency ballast release system works as designed.

Cheap and nasty facial skin tightening procedure: Approach VNE, then apply bulldog clip to excess at back of head.

"I fell off the wing back onto the pilot and ..........."

So if the pilot has trouble starting the engine he will call out 'contact' and you jump off the wing, grab the propellor and let gravity do the rest. ..what could possibly go wrong

"Don't worry the prop is just there to keep the pilot cool, if it stops look at him and you will see he starts to sweat"

Some great suggestions there.
I liked Nuttys
"Remember the in flight catering will come at you fast and often, so just grin and you will catch them between your teeth"
and Dans
"Do you think these sunglasses make me look cool, like Tom Cruise?".
"No,but after this you'll look more windswept and interesting than Billy Connolly".
But the CST goes to Kiltrash for
And remember at the bottom of the loop to look left for the camera flash
I liked Treadigraph's suggestion for the handover, but we couldn't get another aircraft in time. The trophy is therefore being carried aloft to be dropped down your chimney, heres the inflight proof!!



Over to you Kiltrash

It's not the falling that's the problem!
