It wasn't only aviators who had problems with unmanned vehicles. When the uplink failed, this car proceeded directly to postcode FP5 1DH and began sniffing the pavement for traces of E.

Note the parking position: This is actually one of the new Police Unwomanned Vehicles.

Used to be you only had to knick a parking bollard to impress your mates after a night on the p!ss.

The battle of wills continued -- PC Jobsworth had clearly signalled the lamp-post to move, and he was bl@@dy well going to wait there until it obeyed him.

You all might laugh about wpc Pamela Pemberton parking on the footpath, but if you look closely, you'll see she's exactly parallel to the kerb.

This early on a Sunday morning, the only place Sergeant Griswold could get some cedominaphine for his terrible hacking cough was the local metamphetamine lab.

Ever since FP52 DHE had been written off in that horrible, horrible crash, FP51 DHE had been feeling ever so lonely.

While looking at the view in my rear view mirror I couldn't understand why the police car parked on the pavement's number plate had been written back to front!!

While looking at the view in my rear view mirror I couldn't understand why the police car was parked on the pavement, then I remembered how in the mirror everything was reversed.

In some ways, mused PC Plumlett, the accomodation he had been assigned by the local constabulary were appropriate for his job as Police driver (level 1). His house had no porch, and his car was certainly no Porsche.

He could hardly wait for the results of the caption competition to be announced so that he could get on with the next picture.

"Strange - It's been parked there unattended for two hours now and the wheels haven't been nicked yet. Locals say it usually only takes about ten minutes."

Plod, recently being promoted to motorized patrol, just could not break his foot patrol habits.

Sorry for the delay - I felt we had a slow start on this one.

Runner up is Onan with:

"You all might laugh about wpc Pamela Pemberton parking on the footpath, but if you look closely, you'll see she's exactly parallel to the kerb."

It WAS a WPC!

But Lafyar Kokov just wins it with:

"The chief constable responded after the local population had asked for more beat policemen patrolling the neighbourhood's pavements."

Because he'll never know how near the truth he is.
The photo was actually taken outside our chip shop. Need I say more?

Lafyar Kokov, Thanks - and over to you.

Melanie had been sitting astride the other end of the aircraft, but after the APU had run for a couple of minutes she suddenly jumped forward to the nose.

-or-

Melanie hadn't expected to see anyone on the pan that early in the morning, and was horrified to see that Prune had a camera. It was back to the washing machine from now on.

-or-

Melanie was not the brightest avionics technician Racal had ever sent to the station. As she refitted the radome, she began to wonder why, if everything else was a FOD hazard, she'd been allowed to keep her shoes on.

-or-

PPRuNe meets ARRSE.

-or-

Slide 26 from the new perception test. Male aircrew candidates must recognise the presence of an aircraft within 2.7 seconds, and the presence of a face within 3.6 seconds.

(And these are the ones I didn't reject because they were too vulgar!)

Aircraft? Where the hell is an aircraft?
