The anthropometric limits for the new biplane fighter were quite restrictive.

Are you sure this is what the ground crew meant when they said it would cost a monkey to fix?

Following concerns over the recent spate of gear up landings, Plt Off Scrogins shows off his latest invention and it's operation,

A locally purchased howler monkey mounted on the cockpit coaming, with a chain attached to it's testicles and clipped to the gear selector handle, ensures a gear down warning is sounded in the pilots ears on landing.

Commenting on it's first demonstration, Plt Off Scrogins was keen to point out he was already working on a stall warning horn utilizing a Basset Hound, A funnel and pair of nutcrackers.

Von Richthofen said he'd defect for a monkey, are you sure this is what he meant?

The documentary on the History Channel went a long way to proving that the evolutionary leap from hairy, grunting, mammal with limited communication skills was not a huge one.

Just after the photo was taken, Nutloose pulled the monkeys chain causing serious injury to Bubbles...thus was born the term Monkey Wrench.

Flt Lt Miggins thought he needed to clear things up after telling people he was off to spank his monkey.
