The Chief was rapidly coming to the conclusion that his new Rects team needed to understand Service banter in more detail. Thus when he said the S.Engo's latest edict was to be viewed as arse about face, he never expected them to interpret this as such.

Posting the Hartlepool born engineers together had been a logistical c*ckup.
Before anybody could say stop the heli had a full body kit with 'Max Burn' spoilers, Racing Stripes, Neon Underlighting, Blue W*nker Lights, aftermarket 'Phat Ass' jet pipes and an on-board PlayStation.

Due to the unseasonal hot weather the coffee bar had a problem with a fly infestation but, as usual, the engineers were able to offer a practical solution.....

Talking LAST 24 HOURS TO ENTER

Sorry guys but due to an operational commitment I won't be able to announce the result on the now traditional Sunday evening.

I'll announce the winner at 2300A tomorrow night, after the judge has finished his night on the pop.

Get your final entries in.

......and if we move to the other camera we'll see the next one-legged kicking contestant slowly making his way up the port side of the aircraft.

Good effort guys - thirty six entries this week.

Difficult to choose, as no obvious side-splitters (if you'll excuse the pun), and pretty evenly pitched.

In choosing the winner I've gone for subtlety rather than the obvious.

So the runner-up is:

BikerMark for

"MOD now regrets accepting the lowest price bid for the application of the stealthy black anti-radar finish"
and this week's winner is (please step up to accept your prize of 1 Smug Caption, valid 1 week):

Lafyar Cokov For

The builders looked hard for the rotary fire bell - not realising that some joker had stuck it on the tail!!!

Blimey - honoured I am.

Hopefully I'll have access to the 'net this time next week to mark - but if I go suddenly go quiet - I've deployed!!!

Apologies to those of fixed wing persuasion - another rotary one I'm afraid....



Good Luck....

It was only when AVM Noddy took over that things really started to go wrong at the DPA.

Never again would anyone, in any procurement agency anywhere in the world, sign a memo that said, "The lowest radar signature is the be-all and end-all of this project. Every other performance measurement must take second place to low observability -- or better yet, invisibility -- in the radar spectrum."

or

Bloggs understood that the recruiting budget had sunk so low that novel approaches were necessary, but when he saw what he was now expected to take with him to career fairs, he PVRed on the spot.

A gift as a leaving present for Flt Lt xxxxxx, who is departing after a major Łuck up............

"You've let your Squadron mates down. You've let the Squadron down. You've let the Royal Air Force down and you've let yourself down. Take this as a token of the esteem that we hold you in - because you can easily let this down and repent upon your former career!"

The AAC H&SAW Officer has just purchased 6 decoys to be parked outside the mess during official p1ss-ups in case anyone gets trousered enough to fancy a jolly.
