“Hmmm, Carruthers. Folding landing skids? I‘d say that’s a cause of troubles yet to materialise.”

“George, dear, why is that man over there tossing a caber? He might injure something.”

The Baggage Handlers arrived with their cart, but had no idea where to stow the boxes.

It’s the ladies edition, designed to be flown side-saddle.

It’s the BAe mk 2.
Late on in the design process we realised the Mk 1 Spec had a width limit, so we simply rotated the undercarriage 90 degrees to meet the spec, it won’t fly very well, but we will point out to the RAF that their specs were far to ambitious, and offer them the original Mk 1 version as the MK 3 for a considerable price hike. It makes good business sense.

It’s a FORD... Found On Roadsides Deflated.
During his brave attempt to lift the aeroplane onto its transport cart, Orville's hernia blossomed forth for all the World to see. Turning away, Wilbur could not contain a massive guffaw....

Little baby Trump runs off, mocking Wilbur and Orville. "That thing is too bigly to fly. You'll still need my hot air to fill balloons for a long time yet."

Greta’s grandmother ran away with her hoop, muttering about pollution.
Well, Jim, the odds are currently 2:1 in favor of the airplane and cart. But if the winds start to pick up this afternoon, that may eat into the team's advantage on the aerial leg.
