Blimey!I been telling you that I thought the Engineers were sneaking a drink!

MOD cutbacks meant that the airforce wass going to have to make do with much lower tech bombs.

"Err...Sarge, when the wingco said 'make sure the enemy get bombed' I don't think he had this in mind"

The CDT team made sure their detachment kit was ready to go,although they thought the new size bottles may cause concern!

Slowly and calmly Jim tried to explain to the confused and educationally challenged pilot that " No sir, I know they both start with a B and an O but what you drop are called B O M B S ------ these are called B O T T L E S "

The BBMF were delighted with their new acquisition. But some of its systems were a source of considerable puzzlement to SENGO and his men.

Beeayeate - Over there, brhind that tree.

What is the story behind your entry?

I'm having a competition on the side for identification of the aircraft type - that is the one thinking it only had one horse power.

Please anyone.

Sorry, no idea of any story behind the pic I used, it was sent to me yonks ago under the guise of "You may find this amusing." Maybe the location could be the subject of an on-going competition? :rolleyes:

The RAF trying to avoid downsizing went to great lenghts to prove that these machines did in fact, lay eggs which, if they hatched after 3 weeks, would produce new little aircraft at absolutely no extra cost to the taxpayer. Unfortunately, the night shift drank the lot which halted the project.

'So I said, "They're pint bottles: they are the same measure you get over the counter, and they are in a pod, so as far as I'm concerned, chum, we fitted exactly what you asked for. "'
'That's tellin' 'im!"
'Yeah. Anyway, when I asked him how he ever expected them to keep missiles away, he went purple in the face, and he said..."

2 Cans per man per day perhaps!.....If you bother listening to the Admin Wallah

When P/O Peasemould wrote in the log the presence of "An odd whine on the port side", little did he know how close he was to the truth. However, his groundcrew were more concerned about the port on the starboard side.

"This sure as hell doesn't look like chaff to me, and that BOZ pod looks wrong as well".

Bloggs! I won't tell you again! NO smoking 12hrs before flight and NO drink within 25m of the aircraft!

Wow - 28 entrants with 34 captions and about 15,000 contemplations.

Excellent entries ALL - showing that humour is alive and well with aviators.

Go Smoke is declared the winner with his entry

"Err...Sarge, when the wingco said 'make sure the enemy get bombed' I don't think he had this in mind"

Runners up were Mike Jenvey, Green Meat, ACW599, Beeayeate and SVK.

We now await, with eager expectation, for Go Smoke's contribution.

Thanks Milt,

Finding something suitable and aviation related has been tricky but I hope the pic below leaves plenty of room for different interpretations.
