Caption Competition Mk II
Having crash landed in Calais the crew tried to bluff they were Germans in a captured Allied bomber
All went well till Hoskins challenged them to a football match. It was at that point the Jerry's realised the crew were English

Following the incident, the AAIB recommended building longer runways.
Advanced trials of the fitment of tricycle type undercarriage to the Hampden were so advanced that they had overtaken the actual fitting of the nose leg.

Hoskins, if you'd just use your over-stuffed wallet to buy a round in the mess every now and then, these little accidents wouldn't keep happening...
Oi ! enough of that "look ma no hands" stuff !
Pilot: I don't understand I had no problem landing here yesterday
Sqn CO: Well maybe the fact the wind was blowing from the opposite direction yesterday might have something to do with you running off the end of the runway today .....

Top Neddie: You know when I said "keep your nose to the grindstone..."
Bottom Neddie: Yes sire?
Top Neddie: I didn't mean the bloody aeroplanes, knave!
