Just as the photographers flash bulb went off the gunner had a reaction thinking it had been a muzzle flash and unloaded a clip in defence

That Rigger follows us everywhere - I must name my next dog after him.

Yes Carruthers I know it lacks some equipment, but it meets the budget. And it's recyclable!
The Greens will love it...

Not to worry, Hoskins will do.
With the right undies and make-up he's gonna fool everyone!

A young Elton tries to come to terms with what happened to his grand piano.

No Hoskins, it might say on the label it's a COW gun, but you can't use it to shoot your ex

"That's revealed that the engine unfortunately wasn't fastened to the fuselage or the wings. Now, before we go any further, will someone convince me that the fuselage and wings are securely held together?"

"The Germans have got nothing like this.....and I don't blame them either"

"I told you i'd find a use for that old toboggan"

Are we going back for the second half of the plane later ?

Every Squadron had several 'Bunters' to serve as ballast when the engine was removed to overhaul

While the complexity of the aircraft required a 4 man crew, not much thought had gone into crew accommodation. The Flight Engineers position also required a level of physical fitness during the take off and landing.

This is to aid the War Effort Hoskins...

For who sir, the enemy !!!!

Sir, Wouldn't it just be easier to line up all the men and shoot them.

But the Winner with his Shorthorn, er, by a short head is Buster Hyman:

You see Mav, this is why nobody allows us to do low passes anymore. What the hell are we going to do with that Sailor?

CST on its way to you for safekeeping while Trump is in town....

Thank you Treads ol' chap! :ok: Very much appreciated.

Whilst it's always an honour to have the CST up on the mantle piece, I feel I've had a fair share of it recently so I'd be happy for any of the runners up to post a pic & judge the next round.

It's a long time since the Great Leader has featured....
