Time to judge? Saturday evening - it will have run its course by then.

Not 10 seconds after exiting the hangar, Algernon came to the sudden realisation - to his great consternation - that the aircraft fitters had crossed the cables on his rudder pedals when carrying out the last 100-hourly.
He immediately had a brainwave and tried operating the rudder by crossing his legs - and promptly found to his great relief, that he'd be quite able to cope in this manner, with the major re-assembly fault.

Time to judge, I think!
In 3rd place, we have Dak Man with:
"Ok Flt Lt Smithers, read the bottom line and tell me if it's clearer with 1 or 2?"
In 2nd place it's airborne_artist:
"Just because one of us has a colander on his head and the other has a plant pot doesn't mean we aren't proper pilots."
But as I liked the "flower pot men" theme that I had initially missed but many latched onto, this week's winner is
Arm out the window (what a highly appropriate username for this photo) with:
"Blob a lob little weed ... er, sorry, I mean, cleared for takeoff."
Well done, Arm!

The Red's recent budget cut forcing the need to multi-role its aircraft led to an interesting choice in a subdued paint scheme.

The French wanted to put jet engines on it, until we pointed out it would be called Le Coq Sucker...
