Results are in folks, so we can have something for the weekend as barbers used to say.

Two runners up:
Buster
Too close for missiles…in fact, it’s too close for guns too! Switching to verbal abuse!
And Kiltrash
Knew it was a mistake diverting to John Lennon Airport....no emergency can be THAT bad.
But the new holder of the CST is cynicalint.

Pilot was initially flumoxed when he was presented with 5 power levers. Then remembered his time in the Trident 3.

What's that clanking noise, fan blades free wheeling in the breeze?

No, it's Elgar spinning in his grave...
