Nutty not well ... HMTQ admitted to the King Edward VII ...

Ma'am we are not worthy. We are humbled that you should find our CapCom Thread so appealing and that you contribute with such witticism and grace so frequently. Get well soon from all the PPRuNe Crew.

Does that make Buster the DoE ?



Keep them coming ... Steve has entrusted me with the judging on this one ... Let's have some of those furtive lurkers out there have a go
