At max power the Apache is able to raise its gunner's range of view to just above a bush.

"This little contraption should see to the dratted Miss Pitstop... now get over there and tell me when she's coming, you pesky pooch!"
For completeness, by the way, there are still two pictures as-yet unjudged: http://www.altais.org.uk/bc/temp/ExtraHappyFace1.jpg submitted by Dusty_B, and http://www.airlinepictures.net/photo...r_military.jpg submitted by airborne_artist. |
Here's another one for airborne_artist's pic:
Although it was generally accepted that air forces must move with the times, the AOC's manner of congratulating pilots on reaching 1000hr on type was considered by the more conservative to be a trifle unconventional. |

". . . and that's just active the speed camera. If you're speeding they call in an air strike."

"I say Nigel....there's naught on the back of this sign...just which motorway is this?"

It was found that the cardboard cut-out was almost as effective as the real thing and caused just as many "rubber necker" accidents.

The Apache finally got on station, only to find that the offending "Speed merchant" they had been detailed to catch, had got away in about 1998

Judging the Apache round tonight (Tue) at 1800Z so get your last captions in!

"Don't bother calling 'em in, the s*dding radio doesn't work"

Anything to keep it up Mike, as they say :-) Judging in one hour, so its time to apply yourselves for one last effort!
Conan Merriment and mirth are not dead as this round proves. This thread has just gone over 130,000 views and the next round will see the replies go over 1,000. Many notable entries, but for sheer topicality and the need to somehow keep smiling regardless, this round has been won with:- "I say Freddie, with petrol prices at £1 a litre, it\'s no bl**dy wonder we haven\'t clocked many punters......" The prize goes to Mike Jenvey and I invite him to start rummaging on the web, for a new picture. compliments to all, Conan |
Oi! What happened to the Cougar photo?
Happiness is not always a wet pussy.... (Grumman TF-9J Cougar hanging from USS Lexington) |

Ah well, whoever wins the dog one will have an easy time choosing the next :-)
Got a link to a bigger version of the cougar pic? I also volunteer BEags to judge the two outstanding ones if the originators don't drop by soon :-) |
How odd.... That picture is on my PC and it was a toss whether I used that or the Apache for the last round.

And back to the subject pic of this round... Just an observation really.
