I'm really getting bored of asking "Excuse me sir, can we have our ball back?"

"The inflight service had improved of late"

"Get back in chaps! We need to land as we are low on deuce!"

or

"Careful chaps! There isn't any interrupter gear on this thing!"

or

"Tim Henmans' early career was hardly stratospheric, either"

As arranged the pilot sideslipped the aircraft to lower the net so Fred's ball's didn't catch on the net cord.

The prototype for the A380 had some teething problems, but was still able to prove the commercial viability of an inflight tennis court.

During this flight the instructor is to assess the student's hand to eye co-ordination.

Re: Caption competition

Although Jenkinson won in straight sets, he was later stripped of his title when it became known that he had organised a series of secret signals with the pilot. Two quick stamps got him a side slip to the left, three to the right. Although considered cheating at the time it was later adopted by the official Airborne Tennis Display Team as the perfect way of keeping the ball within the tramlines.

Re: Caption competition

Good efforts all round:

This Years New Years Honours List Includes:

MBEs: (Massive Big Enjoyments):

Milt: "Hey - up here one down doesn't make you an ACE"
Conan: "This was proving to be quite a rally, but there again, it had to really. The last ballboy had fallen off somewhere over Croydon"

OBEs: (Overtly Brakish Entertainments)

ShyTorque: "For Christ's sake - keep the bloody ball in the middle!"



But The Knight of My Garter (???????) is.......

Brian Swell: "Hello Ops? Yes its Cpt Dennis Mash here in 41 - can you get maintenance to look at the top wing again? there's still a terrible racket coming from somewhere up there"


Step Forward!!!!!!

The Rafael was next in line for the refuel - a case of "Canard and Bowser"...

or


One Hitler youth member attempted to sabotage the aircraft while the other stood as lookout - nonchalantly playing on the world's first mobile fruit machine..

or


The argument over whether they were a pair of Short's or Gloster's went on and on.....

Good grief, man! Do my puttees up before anyone notices! I said I wanted some enemy action, not ENEMA action!
