Had a message from the British they can't afford to repair it so we can have it for free

The new CO wanted to try out the Kneeling Undercarriage idea, so he could walk up the wing to the cockpit instead of climbing the ladder, but he couldn't jump the hurdles at the top.

Yes, I know Roland Falk rolled it straight after take off at Farnborough but you can't even roll it straight down the runway!

It's the James Bond producers sir, they haven't finished with it yet, they still need to stick it in the sea for a key scene...

Three on left: "Right chaps, head directly to the mess. Walk straight. Don't look back. Act like nothing is wrong. Perfectly normal landing. Don't know what all the fuss is about. Eyes forward. Walk fast. Don't talk to anyone."

Massey Fergusson product development considered the plowing trial as "Unsat, low acres per hour", determining the Luftwaffe's F104 alternative was more effective for plowing.

At the Board of Enquiry, it was discovered that the accident was caused by the co-pilot taking his hands off the controls, closing his eyes, and saying "May V-Force be with you".

The Cricket team ran over to see who had wrecked their strip. Congratulate the captain as they were taking a hammering in the T20.
