As usual, I was blown away by the great entries.

There are several runners-up, in no particular order:

Jolihokistix with: "Training for the Crimean War -- October 1853, Edinburgh";
Treadigraph with: "Got any more beans Mr Taggert?";
Wensleydale with three great puns: ""Bl**dy Chinooks"!!!, "Can't arrest 'm - they're not loitering within tent"!, and "More logistic woes as the Light Brigade look for something heavy to secure their tents."; and
Fly-by-Wife with: "Hurricane Alamy wreaks havoc with Michael Fish's great-great-great grandfather's career in the fledgling Met office."

And finally, based on the highly objective made-Chu-Chu-laugh-the-most standard, the winner of the coveted CapComp trophy is:


Nutloose with: "I'm telling ya, this weather is positively sketchy."

I'm afraid the trophy is where you find it; I suggest looking downwind.

...then turn left at The Bell, after about 400 yards you'll see the Saracen's Head, take the next right and it's the blue house at the end. You can't miss it. In fact you'd bloody better not miss it, my ex-wife's alimony demands are crippling me...

NATO exercise? Finland? This is the UK, er…BRITAIN, and there’s a public convenience over that way.

The machine at the door won’t take cash; you’ll have to set up a card on a recognized bank first.
