Well the time has come, it was very hard to choose from all the top class entries. Please excuse cut and paste, I've still not mastered multiple quotes.

So a highly commended to 'Buster Hyman' with:

That awkward moment just after Achmed had shouted "Imperial Dogs!"...and two seconds before they realised he was the local Cargo Handling Agent delivering some Greyhounds for the outbound flight...

Third Place to 'Fox3WheresMy Banana' with

So Smithers, when Mustapha Beer here told you he had an ex-BA 4-engined airliner for only 30 million, you just handed over the cash?

Second to 'CoffmanStarter' with

Bing Bong ... EasyProp is pleased to announce the departure of it's flight EZ101 to Cairo. Please proceed to Gate 22c where your charabang awaits to take you to the aircraft ... Thank you for flying EasyProp.


My winner this time though is 'Big Pistons Forever' with

9 October 2012

To Imperial Airways

Notice of Regulatory Action

It has been brought to the attention of the CAA that there is photographic evidence that that you company has failed to follow the regulations for appropriate air side clothing. In particular no one in the picture is wearing a hi viz jacket despite the fact that they are clearly servicing the aircraft

The CAA prides it self on prompt action when dealing with any safety infractions.
therefore your earliest attention to this grave matter is required

So take it away 'Big Pistons Forever'

Hi all ...

It would seem we have radio silence from BPF and Steve ... and with 24 Hrs nearly lapsed since Steve's winner announcement yesterday ... I'll take the initiative as runner up ... if only to help Nutloose cope with his CapCom OCD problem (I can talk !).

I will gladly stand-down if BPF wishes ... but leave him to judge as is the form in such circumstances (also allows me to play ).

The inspiration for my offering comes from Nutloose's recent post on the declassification of a USAF Flying Saucer project ...

USAF Flying Saucer Project



Best regards ...

Coff.

Yes, I know. We're both unhappy but the pilots union said they'll try to reinstate our epaulettes to the uniform.

First landing of real extraterrestrials dismissed by UFO nuts as Government hoax.

The first selection for The Fantastic Voyage team's entry point was not successful.

Navigator Ben Wa made a brilliant suggestion for an alternative...
