Re: Caption competition
These might be brand new aeroplanes, but damn it they were training aeroplanes and the Wing Commander was going to make damn sure they smelled like training aeroplanes.

The instructor smirked quietly to himself as his student searched vainly for the Propellor control. It was an old trick, but one sure to win him yet another all you can eat curry at the Za Za Bizarre, just a short camel ride away. "Yes it's constant speed" he practised saying "constantly zero.".
===
It was an unfortunate moment for Bloggs to idly wonder what was the purpose of the button marked "STARTER".
===
There was quite a stir when the picture appeared in the local rag. "Jerry reads this too you know." snapped with Wingco, his moustache bristling "Those glideslope antennas plainly visible underneath the wings are not supposed to be invented yet."
===
Bloggs' last moments were spent in a cheery, self abusive reverie as the fuel truck unfortunately reversed over him.

It was the war and we made do with what we could. So what if we had to power the fuel bowser with three old sewing machines?

As PerArdua seems to have gone "Ad Astra (Absentis)" 
I suggest that if he doesn't step up to claim his award within the next 24hrs, then the prize should go to the next most amusing entry, which I judge to be

Wilco. If I'm at a PC at 2340Z, and PerArdua hasn't made an appearance, I'll gleefully accept the prize and offer a new pic. If I'm not at a PC then, I'll do it tomorrow, all being well.
Thanks!

The man in the parachute had taken exception to the intrusion but he was no competition as bloggs merely opened the throttles wider so he couldn't hear him scream!!

It's true that the paint job took a long time, and wasn't as durable as earlier ones, but bottles of correcting fluid had been available at stores in vast quantities, whereas the drum of white nosecone paint was the last one in stock and was thus unobtainable.

Re: Caption competition
I know now that we're all contracted out and all we should expect a few teething problems - but the gun's muzzle velocity is going to have to be increased - we keep hitting out own rounds!!

The addition of the new satellite weather dish on the port side at the front of the aircraft still failed to notice the halestorms
