When Hoskins finally reached the end of the training pipeline, he found he had been remustered to Admin (Sec).

The first aptitude test to join the battlespace management branch. Are you gullible enough to believe that you are an extra pair of eyes in the cockpit?

Hoskins mused ... “To think that decades later a new generation could accomplish the same task from a Portacabin a thousand miles away. One can but dream ...”

In a stop gap measure the temporary AF1 for Joe Biden is wheeled out. Due to his age he may not make the planned replacements
Also serves as a final resting place...

Lots of great entries on this one. Short of the winner, the ones that made me laugh the most (in no particular order) were:

Trouble is, after every burst we have to wheel him back from St Pancras. --Ninthace

I wanted to fly a Sopwith Camel, and all I got was the hump!! – Wensleydale

And so son, that's why it's been known as the Guard's van ever since – Traffic is Er Was.

"You've not only run over the marshaller, you've got his head and shoulders caught in your contraption." – c52

Combat was going well until the hun deployed leaves on the line. – Nutloose

Army Medics trial new methods for mass vaccination against Spanish Infuenza. MPN11

But one entry not only conjured up a improbably funny scene, but did it with style and panache (or something like that). So the coveted trophy goes to Traffic for:

Cholmondeley-Smythe loitered patiently up-sun, just waiting for a careless Hun to be pushed into range.

The trophy will be dispatched shortly -- just need to get the transatlantic rail link complete and recruit a few more pushers for the relay.

Why thank you sir. SInce I'll then have to wait for the gangers to move on to construction of the transpacific rail link, I'm more than happy to throw it open to someone who hasn't had a go in a while. First in, best....etc.

I find your lack off faith in the ground crews disturbing.

All I asked for was an upload of domestic water, but the tower tells me he has the divine right to supply its location.

If he rubs those two sticks together much faster he’ll light those sabres.
