while swimsuits and/ or photo files are being scutinised with intense scrutes -

One day, Bill the duck hunter was out on the border of New South Wales and Victoria shooting ducks. He was having a good day. He'd already bagged 6 or 7 ducks when a park ranger came up to him.
"Do you realise that its not duck season in Victoria anymore mate." said the ranger.
"I shot these ducks in New South Wales!" Bill replied swiftly.
The ranger then said, "That's irrelevant, if the ducks are from Victoria Let me look at one. I'm an expert. I'll be able to tell if its from Victoria, or New South Wales."
Bill, thinking that the Ranger might be a shingle short, obliged and threw him the first duck. The ranger then proceeded to part the ducks tail feathers. He then jammed his index finger straight up the duck's arse. Then he sniffed his finger and said -
"This one's ok. It's from New South Wales. "Let me have the second
one."
Bill laughed and gave him the second duck. The ranger did the same routine. When he sniffed his finger he said,
"This duck is from Victoria, I'm going to have to book you."
"You're kidding aren't you mate" said Bill "You can't possibly tell from that!"
"I told you. I'm an expert" says the ranger "Now, what was your name?"
"Bill Smith"
"And where are you from Bill?"
"Richmond"
"Richmond Victoria, or Richmond New South Wales?"
Bill slowly dropped his daks, turned round, bent over and hissed -

"You're the expert. You tell me!"

Appreciate your attention to detail Nuttie. Might have put you off your stroke . . sorree. Achally I thought your unamended version of the loadmaster's fragrant finger should have been a laid down home and hosed . . . Our adjudicator seemed to over look the over powering significance of the fingers in front of the dog's nose. ditto that the balus was parked.

I wasn't drinking yer onner, honest, I just had one Kiwi beer and that doesn't count.

It says here in the fine print of the caption comp rule book, section 7F, clause 6, amendment 24, revision 3 with reference to errata sheet 2, paragraph 5, that should the winner not be able to fulfill their duties as Miss Estonia in a timely manner then the crown will be offered to the next runner up, Plastic Bonsai.

OK gentlemen, let's keep this moving. I hope 5aday can judge this in due course.

Your challenge is to provide a witty, amusing and preferably not libelous caption to this picture, taken at the Abingdon Air Day ten days ago:

Thank you Airborne Artist. I'd love to judge this one. Is there a time scale involved? I have to warn you , my sense of humour is somewhat warped !

Looking pretty average to me. Show me a flying forward one-and-a-half somersault, pike and I might say 'wow' or even 'awesome', at a stretch.

First one to say "I feel the need, the need for speed" gets to wear the sandwich board with "Goose" written on it!

Not confident with this batch of cadets Bertie. I just asked to show me the stairs.

They've never been drilled, just too often billed, as our air force's rising stars.

'No way . . . that's gotta be a Mustang. . . . named after that classic Yank sports car people rave on about. Think they mighta even called a type of horse after it.'

In the interests of standardisation and cost saving gro bags will be issued to non aircrew. - but you have to buy your own sunglasses.

FFS scibble on your knee pads to make it look like they are useful

Look nonchalant boys and perhaps they won't connect us with the growing cloud of dust in the background.
