It was down to the last 2 bidders, Thunderbird 2 & the Nimrod, and the USAF chose...the 767.

And the results from the Southern Jessieland jury....



Difficult choices with fine efforts from all so I've decided from one style of nostalgia from toptobottom:

"...hang on der now Paddy, I tort I was refuelling you?"

"NO Seamus! I'm refuelling YOU...!"

"Alright den Paddy. I have a plan. Let's refuel each odder and nobody will know..?"

"Seamus - you're a genius.. now den, who's going to fly backwards?"


To poignancy from jwcook:

Nimrod:- "I get early retirement and you've certainly let yourself go since we got married."

And Ascend Charlie first off the block with a highly commendable:

All that grey paint and US logos seems to be holding us back! Doesn't matter how much smoke I pump out the back, I just can't catch that Dimrod or Ramrod or whatever it is...

I have picked the winner, with perhaps more background knowledge than many would openly admit to

Steve The Pirate:

Inside the pod of Thunderbird 2, Gordon wasn't exactly looking forward to this supposed 'friendly' seek-and-destroy mission that Virgil had talked him into.

Thank you for the honour of being your judge on the best thread on here.

Congratulations and over to you Mr Pirate.

PB, I'm flattered, thank you! Being relatively new to this part of the forum (and this thread in particular) I'm not aware of all the photos that have gone before so let me know if this is a repeat and I'll find another.



Happy captioning.
