This new model is used predominantly in the primary training courses in an effort to assuage the understandable fears of the new recruit during the lessons on autorotation.

The three major political parties collaborated in the new Helicopter (Improved) Procurement Programme Opportunity and each party painted 'their' part in their own colour.

In comparison to those used in the build up to D-Day, today's inflatable decoys could be considered lacking in a certain basic utility.

Deception was one of the Principals of War but as age took its toll their Airships made some sadly misguided decisions.

Recently declassified BRIXMIS imagery has revealed that Frontal Aviation's application of maskirovka techniques to front-line combat helicopters did not always produce the expected results. Soviet attempts to duplicate Barley Grey also appear to have rather surprising consequences in certain applications.

In some ways, it was safer than a normal helicopter. It did after all have two tail rotors...and it never actually left the ground.

I'm sorry about that earlier post. I've just realised it's supposed to be a humourous caption.


How about (and I should have used this last week )

"Number one engine missing" etc

In a cunning "front line first" move, the occupants of Main Building secured their contracts for another twenty years by suggesting a way of recycling vast amounts of hot air in a more productive role.

The QinetiQ boffins finally realised their error in designing the new stealth helo to have 2 tail rotors rotating in opposite directions and redesigned it so that the direction of both was reversed!

The C/O stopped the painters mid nose art, just before they inserted the Tony Bliar grin, stating "we don't want any friendly fire incidents from our own troops, it's bad enough with the spams".
