We at Bloggs Air School pride ourselves that our students are able to confront realistic emergency situations in a controlled environment. Here is student Mrs Maxine O'Whatsthatsmell (67) being given an opportunity to practice her "two greens" drill.

Well captioneers, we have hit page two of the forum and that is a sure sign that it is getting time to hand out the honours. I shall be back to adjudicate at some point around 2000Z tomorrow. (Tue)
Thank you all for making me laugh so hard and congratulations on a goodly batch of mirth and merriment. All that I can say for now, is that you are a bunch of shining wits.
See you all on the morrow for prize day.
TTFN,
Conan the Librarian

I wonder how far it would reach if we could put all of the caption comp responses end to end? (Even just Onans’ for that matter) By my reckoning this round has attracted 62 fine entries as of 1850Z and yes, it is “Pin the tail on the Donkey” time.
Several mentions in dispatches –
Onan the Clumsy for the prodigious output and for such gems as:
As Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi drove to the meeting to pitch his idea, he suddenly realised that a woman and a torch would make a much more appropriate Statue of Liberty.
And
For months now he'd tried to get close to this shy diminutive pilot. At least this way he had a good view of her flaps
Guern, for being quick off the mark with this offering
"The Budget for Die Hard 4 was a lot less than Bruce had expected"
Adr for upholding the cynicism of us all with
The Board of Enquiry later determined that the boss's love of snap inspections had crossed the line into clinical obsession.
As returning officer for the Fraggle Rock constituency, I hereby declare, that the first three places in reverse order are as follows:
3rd Place. Onan the Clumsy
Even though Bob had been an instructor for over a year now, he still felt an extreme reluctance to sign off his students for their first solo.
Runner up. Milt
"Just a little bit faster and its engine should start."
And the winner of this round, isssssssss……

How about:
"As Andrew peered eagerly through the windshield he began to realise that an approach through the overcast of a grey cloud to a grey aircraft carrier set against the backdrop of a grey sea was not going to be easy at all."
Oh I'm sorry. You haven't posted the pic yet.

Environmentalists use an updated version of "A picture of a polar bear in a snowstorm" to elaborate on their concerns regarding pollution.

In one of the less well thought out cost cutting measures of World War 2, the RAF discontinued black and white reconnaisance photography in favour of grey only.

CFI " Well done PO Prune, you have successfully achieved a wheels up landing. Unfortunately, wheels-up means 'wheels still inside wings' as opposed to 'why has the world turned green and why can't I open the canopy?' "

The picture that appeared in some newspapers was designed to stir up controversy but was revealed leter to be a fake.
"It's quite obviously a montage" remarked a member of the local forensic team "Look how the word POLICE is written backwards.".
