In third place, ShyTorque, with:
"Aaaa....TISHOO!"

In second position Buster Hyman, with:

Well done Wyler - take it away chap !!!

Call me old fashioned, but was the winning entry not a late post in reference to the previous competition picture, the hands free F18 driver??

It was 2 days after the winner was announced...

Anyway, being the runner up, I'll throw one up in Wylers absence...

And that's what happens when you try to judge a caption contest after a heavy night!

Looks like Wyler has left the planet anyway, so Buster Hyman - YOU have control...

Having been mashed off her tits for twenty years non-stop, and now aged 37, Amy Winehouse tries out the new RAF jet-trainer cockpit for size.

Cos I'm a pilot, jet pilot yeah,
When I'm in the bar I wave my truss in the air,
I'm missing nearly all my teeth and damn near all my hair
And I'll tell you all about me
Just ignore the smell of wee......

Davros was pleased that the proof of concept was sound, and assured the "Project Dalek" working group, that the production model would be smaller.

Before the UK's oldest man had visited the cockpit, the groundcrew had taken the precaution of installing an incontinence sheet - you never know !

The new F-38 was so fast that relativity effects such as time dilation became evident. Problems arose with crews returning from one-hour sorties many years older than when they took off.
