I'm back, and you will hear my judgement...

Thankyou Wizard for taking control. I have...



Third Place goes to Buster Hyman with:

"Cool! We now have a memorial to the RAF AND British engineering!"


Sunny Second place is awarded to Shytorque with:

"Right then, so your name is May and the other two behind me are called Clarkson and Hammond?"


...and the Winner is Tashengurt with the predictable (but still funny):

"Told you we should take the nav out first."

I believe it was a failed attempt by the RSAF to add to the collection on plinths outside Dhahran.

There is, this shot is a still from the film Lord of War loosely, allegedly based on the activities of Viktor Bout. ( A man worth a thread of his own !!)
