Caption competition
"That's revealed that the engine unfortunately wasn't fastened to the fuselage or the wings. Now, before we go any further, will someone convince me that the fuselage and wings are securely held together?"

"I told you i'd find a use for that old toboggan"
While the complexity of the aircraft required a 4 man crew, not much thought had gone into crew accommodation. The Flight Engineers position also required a level of physical fitness during the take off and landing.

Thanks everyone for making the judging very difficult as usual, but without further ado, a quartet of runners up in Boxkite formation...

Man the front gun he said, and I said you have to be freckling kidding me and he said ahhhh Classic turrets syndrome then shoved me in"

A young Elton tries to come to terms with what happened to his grand piano.
But the Winner with his Shorthorn, er, by a short head is Buster Hyman:
You see Mav, this is why nobody allows us to do low passes anymore. What the hell are we going to do with that Sailor?
CST on its way to you for safekeeping while Trump is in town....

Thank you Treads ol' chap! 
Very much appreciated.
Whilst it's always an honour to have the CST up on the mantle piece, I feel I've had a fair share of it recently so I'd be happy for any of the runners up to post a pic & judge the next round.
