A long lost "Thomas the Tank Engine" manuscript is discovered, featuring the love child of Harold and Oliver.

When I said I wanted to see a Elephant Fly, this was not quite what I meant

I introduce the new Swiss Army Helicopter!

With the chrysalis cut away, we can see development of the rotor well along even as the caterpillar tracks begin to wither.

Having found the Lead Balloon Myth too simple to Bust, Adam and Jamie attempt to make a industrial machine fly, Instead of just blowing it up.

Managing Director questions the Advertising Executive was that a suitable advert to put on the roundabout by the Head Office to show our wares. Adman responded with everyone knows about the Concrete Elephant on the A30....

I am sorry Mr Bloggins while you have 8000 hrs of PIC you lack the minimum 2 years of digger experience. Please re-apply for this position when you meet the minimum requirements

This helicopter is so ugly that not even the earth is able to repel it sufficiently to fly - so it had to dig its way into flight...

GAF introduce it's new Helicopter for the Australian Army, "The Digger".

With the military now using autonomous droids in the infantry role, the Royal Engineers have adapted the basic Dalek chasis for the combat engineering role. "EXCAVATE"!!!

The undertakers invest in Covid-19 secure grave digging machine. The spinning rotors ensure a 2 meter exclusion zone.

From Archaeopteryx to Archaeology.

Convinced he'll be blown sky high by a gas main, Hoskins adds an autorotation device.

The Treasury stated that the new helicopter would be a drain on resources.

For anyone who is interested in aircraft with unusual undercarriages.

OK, we've got a new blade fitted and tracked, and we put hydraulics on it too. Let's call it the R-Soul.

" The Flying Gardener " ditches the hot air balloon as a means of travel for something more useful and practical.

Having parked on a red route in London, The parking authorities were flummoxed where to put the clamp.

Early design for the Replacement Coffman Starter Trophy was not received with positive comments.

The new improved Borisforce One. Now it can dig its own ditches.

To simplify determination of his height above ground level, Hoskins installed one just below the nose.

Even ditch diggers have helicopter parents these days.

Sarah Ferguson’s Budgie the Helicopter sets out to dig the dirt on Prince Andrew.

Bloggs, you haven't quite got the hang of designing Transformer toys have you?

Having been pulled over by the cops for breaking the speed limit, Hoskins asked the officer to put it down as clocked at 45 mph. As he was trying to sell it.

Meccano and Airfix get together to design next Christmas must have toy

In StalagLuft 13 the prisoners look to speed up the digging of the escape tunnel, before the Russians liberate them. Guards think they are looking to get away over the wire.

The Colditz Cock and Great Escape teams pool their engineering skills and resources...

Would that be Massey Ferguson?

Charlie Dimmock is accused of going overboard with the water feature in Mr Bristows garden

In the Bondiverse Q feels sure this will stop a .5 cal round

"No...I said that a helicopter was on my bucket list - not a bucket on my helicopter list!!"

"Rotor Brake? We don' need no stinkin' Rotor Brake! We jes' raise theese shovel!"
(From the soon-to-be-released movie Blazing Budgerigars.)

- Ed

"Does it have brakes? You bet - we drop that blade into the ground and it'll stop from any speed in 6"* - and the support sticking out a the front stops it from tipping over."

* on soft ground - Ts & Cs apply

I think we might have missed a step in the assembly manual . . . . Ah, here it is: 87. Fix ram jets to rotor tips.

"Well, if you think about it, you'd need several primary controls for the helicopter component, and several for the digger component. But we've economised so there are only three controls that you use in conjunction with each other to get the required effect."

It’s for the the Army engineer folks. They just don’t feel comfortable unless everything they drive has tracks and a blade...

To save money we outsourced the design to the lowest bidder, What could possibly go wrong....

ME WANT ONE !!!!
