After the ritual Friday night Curry in the Mess, it was prudent to observe the khazi from a distance for signs of use before approaching.

Following the Annual Inter Squadron Masturbating Competition, a clear winner emerged at the front after years of coming second, he successfully managed to project his discharge to a height of 500 feet whilst breaking the soundbarrier in the progress.
Asked how he had managed such a feat, SASless replied, "Simply extensive training, which involved a year of abstinence".

... Photography of aircraft at airshows is an acquired art. They are a lot further away than you realise so be prepared for lots of photos of seemingly empty sky... (Regi-Spotters handbook 3rd Ed. page 123 section 6.34 iv e)

As a result of severe reductions in manpower levels the RAF Falcons Parachute Dispay Team now comprises of just one man who drops smoke canisters and a weighted RAF Ensign for display purposes

Contrary to NutLoose's post at #14644 ... I was under the impression that the exchange officer, Captain Wang King of the Republic of Singapore Air Force, won the AISMC and not SASless that year

No one has a clue when the middle management bonding course gets to the 'Blue Sky Thinking' bit. WTF

My worst photo from a Duxford visit (damned digital camera never clicked on time) has run its time so.... judgement day!

I did think "Stealth fighter" the first time I saw it so the runner up is:

Fox3wheresmybanana with:
The press attend the F-35 In-Service display on the due date.
"Bloody Hell, that's stealthy. It's as if it isn't there at all!"
However, as a long time Larson fan (as in "The Far Side" cartoons), This one made me laugh the most:

Bob's paranoia about chem trails got worse when he realised they were all pointing at him... just him...
So, SteveCox, you're on, well done!

Thanks Gents, most surprised as I thought there was a lot of competition.

Okay lets see what humour (if any) you can find in this fine picture of how it used to be:



Judging Friday 12th 1400Z unless it runs out before then.
