US carrier ops have been severely restricted since the flight deck crews insisted on their right to drive to work. Funding for the court case was provided by McDrive, who now have 14 outlets on every carrier.

Oh, Squeaker. That is good.

THIS IS NOT AN ENTRY, BY THE WAY.

In the latest remake of the Blues Brothers Jake and Elwood were pretty certain they could get away from all the cop cars in their gov surplus F18

Honouring the 'special relationship', the newest carrier was named the USS M25.

The captain was secretly hoping that the arrangement of white & silver cars spelled out something really insulting in Persian.

This wasn't what the F-18 pilot meant when he told the MTO to get him wheels at 12 O’clock!

As usual there were some corking entries gents, and I liked Canadian WokkaDoctor with "
This wasn't what the F-18 pilot meant when he told the MTO to get him wheels at 12 O’clock!"

and
Son of brommers with "Boris was left wondering how the procurement bods had managed to overdeliver on the replacement Woolwich ferry", both of which are Highly Commended.

In the runner-up place is Siggie with "Honouring the 'special relationship', the newest carrier was named the USS M25" and Squeaker with "Superfluous puctuation mark in new Dublin Airport construction contract results in world's first "airport/car park"."

But the winner this week is my very old friend and rotary aviator Toptobottom with the simple but effective "What time did they say the movie starts?"

Take it away TTB.
