"Right, this diagram depicts the deconfliction plan - tanks not to go higher than three feet, helicopters up to two hundred and jets above. The Stanley Steamer is there to confuse the enemy in case this falls into the wrong hands."

The graphic design department at Jane's Defence Weekly had obviously taken things a 'tad' too far after it had been suggested that the publisher should better accomodate their more younger subscribers.

Look here, Squadron Leader, this combat report of yours. It's a bit, well, sketchy..

SecDef felt the only way to explain the depth of the SDSR RAF cuts was to release CAS's submission to the Review.

Dear Mr Hoskins

Thank you for your completed insurance claim form, including an illustration of the accident scene, for which we acknowledge receipt.

For the sake of clarity, please confirm that your helicopter is represented in the top right corner of the drawing and that the 'large flying cow' you claim "appeared from nowhere and just fell straight into my Main Rotor blades without sounding its horn or indicating and that's what must have caused all the damage" is the brown creature shown adjacent and above your vehicle.

We look forward in anticipation of your prompt reply.

Once the microfilm was developed it became blindingly obvious that the MI6 budget cuts had gone too far.

Military recruiters said to be concerned that the latest 'dumbed down' recruiting posters may still be too advanced for the GCSE generation.

You're right Mr. Squiggle, it was a cluster f**k! Thank God you got through that shopping centre appearance unscathed!

Some great responses. Scores on the door:

Honourable joint third to Pohm1 with:
"My Life in the Army"
By Harry Wales aged 27.

and SASless with:
"Hoskins....I know you were told to prepare a Brief for the Army but are you sure this is not just a bit too complicated for them?"

Excellent second place to toptobottom with:
"That's very good Prime Minister. Now, what else did we see during our little holiday in Afghanistan?"

But this week's star is 622 with:
Baldrick, I only gave you a black and green crayon - how did you get the brown?

Take it away 622!
