I know Putin’s stupid “Special Military Operation” has caused the Russian AirForce to scratch pretty deep into the reserve stock pile but WTF am I supposed to do with this POS ?

[Big Pistons Forever]

Just like home Ladies, we have to go clean up the mess the boys made.

[Dan Gerous]

Well it was here when we left.

[NutLoose]

Leeming?, no we can’t land there, the RAF closed it..

What about Church Fenton?

Nope that’s gone too

Lynham?

No short sightedness built on the sides of the runway thus rendering it unusable.

How about there, Coltishall?

Nope that’s full of Perverts and solar panels..

Manson then?

Nope refugees and lorry parking..

Well we could try Brize but then the chances of finding room to park might be difficult.

[Kiltrash]

MOD can only dream of having 3 times as many Pilots over aircraft

[Kiltrash]

( bragging ) Well Mav took me up last year in his P51,
and me,
​​​​and me
Damm three timing cnut

[Kiltrash]

Does flight planning have to be done out here on the windy, cold and wet aircraft pan when there is a perfectly agreeable Starbucks* just over there?
* Other comfortable ( overpriced ) Coffee shops with comfort snack foods are available

[Ripton]

We're never going to get one washing machine in the back of this, let alone three.

[treadigraph]

Turn left at Sainsbury's, hang a right at Dorothy Perkins and you'll see John Lewis straight ahead....

[NutLoose]

Why they want to invade Milton Keynes is beyond me, the road system is a nightmare.

[NutLoose]

Ok, so I have marked all the Aldi stores around Berlin, remember its an Air Fryer we are after.

[treadigraph]

I think Bunty fell off Spunky Lad at the big fence about here, we better go back and see if she is all right. Um... by the way is this an aeroplane?

(is it a P-40? Looks like one but hood seems to be all perspex, thought they usually had a fair bit of metal framing?)

[Wensleydale]

I need to get back sharpish: the squadron commander needs his ironing done by tomorrow.

Yak 3 for my money. Sliding canopy, and fairing on the Horizontal stabiliser seems right too.

[NutLoose]

It's a lend lease Hurricane.... Why do you think I keep mentioning them, other wise some of my captions don't fit I know the canopy is wrong.

I would say its a Yak 1

Yak 3 had a teardrop canopy

"Are you supposed to put down 'Greeny Brown' under aircraft type in your logbook?"

[Confusious]

I wonder if the full moon's gravitational pull affects the compass cos I seem to have the same problem every month?

[NutLoose]

A Jeremy Corbyn sent it to us to show his support..
What is it?
It says here, it is a rubbing of a Westminster City Council manhole cover
