The formation sortie was a bit of a non-starter as no-one could find a lead!

The self cleaning option, whilst innovative on an aircraft, was criticised for paying too much attention to the undercarriage.

Muttley was a little confused. Thinking he was being taken to see a fellow ex-serviceman, all that had resulted from the visit to this "vet" had been a cold thermometer up his a*$e. His eyes still glazed over thinking about it.

Apologies for lateness, never got that beer last night as ended up rushing round, so....

Honourable Mentions to:

Wensleydale for "My instrument flying is not very good - my instructor says that I chase the ball too much!"

and Buster Hyman for "Chocks away!...AAAARGH! THAT"S NOT A CHOCK!!!!!!"

but the winner of the CST on this occasion is :

SATCOS WHIPPING BOY for "Normal landings were fine, but wee Mutley dreaded any cable engagements."

Wow, thank you Andytug, I certainly wasn't even expecting a mention given the standard of captions. It is an honour to take care of the CoffmanStarter Trophy for a short while; it will take pride of place on my virtual mantelpiece.

New image up within the hour.
