When told to use the station bike, Bloggs adopted the belt & braces principle, knowing that one way or the other, he'd not be shown to have misunderstood.

Trials for a potential ATC vehicle proved it was excellent for picking up FOD on the move if the ATCO was alert and nimble-fingered.

The RAF museum's last photo of a pre-war waxwork on its way to being made fit for the 21st century by the addition of crash-helmets and hi-viz jackets. A spokesperson for the museum said, "The last thing we want to do is put ideas into young people's heads."

Hugo felt the engine’s vibrations through his seat, and instantly had an idea for the Memsahib’s birthday present. An electric food-mixer.

"Never mind, Sir - it may never happen "

"What may never happen, driver ?"

"I may never be able to start this bloody thing !"

It was only when they slowed down that Bertie figured out where the whistling was coming from.

“So, what did you do in The War, Sir?”

Where to, Sir?
You see this brevet I'm wearing? See it has an "O" in it? That stands for "Observer". That means I "observe". I don't make decisions. I just look at things other people want me to look at. Now you take me somewhere with things to look at, then bring me back when I've seen them.

Bertie was only too glad to be back on the ground where being driven round by a suicidal WRAF person was a lot more safe than dangling in a balloon 1000 feet over the battlefield.

Or

Bertie's Great Grandson finally understood why after the tour of Flanders Great Grandad never talked about what he did during the war....Oh the shame of it ... Driving popous twits around

Yes, you can adjust the drip feed on my acetylene gas generator, but I have already told you that you must keep your hands off until after dark.

Thank you all for some amusing replies. I enjoyed the references to Lawrence, but similar to my thoughts was Dan Gerous with his:

It's was supposed to read RAC, but never mind Sir, it's the same uniform.
Well done Dan. The trophy is winging its way to you (as soon as the van has been recovered and repaired).

Thanks Wensleydale, didn't realise I'd won, till some bird from a motorbike dispatch firm knocked at the door.

Hope this will cheer you up Kiltrash, though I don't fancy yours much
