...and now the previous caption competition...from the outside!
It wouldn't have been so bad if the canopy actually fitted correctly.
What's really funny is that there's no engine either.
During the inspection, The Duke of Edinburgh was heard to utter "Damn those ignorant inbred wogs. We should never have outsourced our maintenance to them"
The car part of The Flying Car (tm) was quite successful.
As wartime projects went, the wooden wings of the Mosquito were much more successful than the paper mache ones of its successor, the Midge.
It was an expensive annual that year.

The use of natural, 'socially-responsible' recycleable materials for third world airframe structures, whilst appealing to enviro-fundamentalists, had unfortunately also proved appealing to a passing swarm of locusts.......

3.17.1 Private aircraft Actions for BIKINI RED include disabling private aircraft to prevent unauthorised use. Various means are used by owners to comply with the requirement, and the illustration above shows two acceptable methods.

An excellent round of captions - you should all feel jolly pleased with yourselves!!! However there can only be one winner - in each category... In the most attempts catagory - Conan again is the outright winner..... However for quality(!!! he he he) the results in reverse order are (in my slightly warped and sun addled brain):
3rd Place: The Ubiquitous Conan with: "Having failed miserably in building a wardrobe, Nigel decided to build an aircraft instead"
In 2nd Place: An Teallach's amazing: "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"
But the winner is the quite amusing: "When the advert said "1/4 share in a Cessna", Bloggs had assumed the other three quarters would still be attached." - Talking Radalt its over to you!!!

ooooh me?!!! That's two now. 
Alas my IT skills are somewhat lagging behind my "Have I got News for You" caption skills hence I still haven't fathomed out how to add an image. Just get that blinking red X thingy.
So here's a link instead, if someone could paste the image that'd be just great (but still carries no favour when it comes to judging you understand...)
Caption for this please!
Judging in seven days (next Sunday, Oct 16th)...
