Instructor - This is how you complete an inverted beat-up - just remember though... plenty of altitude before recovering to straight and level...otherwise..........

Welcome to Ikea. We hope you will be delighted with your FLYTTA assembly kit. First, carefully check the components...

...and now the previous caption competition...from the outside!


It wouldn't have been so bad if the canopy actually fitted correctly.


What's really funny is that there's no engine either.


During the inspection, The Duke of Edinburgh was heard to utter "Damn those ignorant inbred wogs. We should never have outsourced our maintenance to them"


The car part of The Flying Car (tm) was quite successful.


As wartime projects went, the wooden wings of the Mosquito were much more successful than the paper mache ones of its successor, the Midge.


It was an expensive annual that year.

The use of natural, 'socially-responsible' recycleable materials for third world airframe structures, whilst appealing to enviro-fundamentalists, had unfortunately also proved appealing to a passing swarm of locusts.......

egbt - your caption had me in stitches! Get's my vote!

:p

"Oh come on sir, it wasn't that bad. At least I Ianded it the right way up."

or

The Acme Flying School's annual open day had got off to a bad start.

"How did your solo nav go, Bloggs?"

"Really good sir, although that MOD LL TURB in the forecast was a bit wicked in places".

not a caption......... (If it was it would be rubbish!!)

Judging will take place on Saturday (assuming I can find my way to a computer then) - get 'em in while you still can.......

MFI's inclusion onto DPA's preferred supplier list was called into question shortly following batch one deliveries.

BEagle 7th Oct 2005 15:29

Oh, PFI? Sorry, thought you said that MFI would be the MFTS assumption!

Lafyar Cokov 9th Oct 2005 17:20

An excellent round of captions - you should all feel jolly pleased with yourselves!!! However there can only be one winner - in each category... In the most attempts catagory - Conan again is the outright winner..... However for quality(!!! he he he) the results in reverse order are (in my slightly warped and sun addled brain):


3rd Place: The Ubiquitous Conan with: "Having failed miserably in building a wardrobe, Nigel decided to build an aircraft instead"

In 2nd Place: An Teallach's amazing: "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"

But the winner is the quite amusing: "When the advert said "1/4 share in a Cessna", Bloggs had assumed the other three quarters would still be attached." - Talking Radalt its over to you!!!

Talking Radalt 9th Oct 2005 20:16

ooooh me?!!! That's two now. :)
Alas my IT skills are somewhat lagging behind my "Have I got News for You" caption skills hence I still haven't fathomed out how to add an image. Just get that blinking red X thingy. :*
So here's a link instead, if someone could paste the image that'd be just great (but still carries no favour when it comes to judging you understand...)

Caption for this please!

Judging in seven days (next Sunday, Oct 16th)...

Excitement at news of an F-16 VTOL variant was short-lived.
