Caption Competition Mk III
All went well at Duxford when the Nimrod was to be placed in their £15m hangar...till they realised the actual hight of the fun....just leave it outside in the British weather was the solution..

Heath Robinson has modified the CST and the scrap will be sent via MOD Courier.

When I said I would like to see a hogshead on the mess table at luncheon, I meant one with an apple in its mouth... never mind, these will have to do.
